RULE 5070–1 Calendars & Scheduling

(a) Obtaining a Hearing Date for a Motion, Application, or Objection. A party may obtain a hearing date on a motion, application, or objection, by selection of a date and time from the Court's website of an available date or by contacting the Courtroom Deputy for an alternative date and time. If the parties reasonably expect a matter to take more than thirty (30) minutes, the parties should not use the dates on the Court's website and may instead contact the Courtroom Deputy for a special date and time for the hearing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a movant does not set a motion, application, or objection for hearing, the

(b) Court may set a hearing on such motion, application, or objection on any other matter at its discretion.

(c) Form of Notice of Motion. The notice of the motion, application, or objection shall substantially conform to Official Form B 420A and may be combined with the notice of hearing and/or the notice of deadline to object. For clarity, a party may file a separate notice of motion, notice of hearing, and/or notice of deadline to object, or a party may combine the pleadings into one clearly titled document. It is the movant's responsibility to comply with proper noticing requirements, including serving any notice(s) sufficiently in advance of a scheduled hearing date such that the deadline for filing an opposition expires prior to the date of the hearing.
