Local Rule 9013-1: Motion Practice
Bankr. D. Wyo. — General rule
Rule 9013-1 Motion Practice
(A) Motions.
(1) Every request for relief must be submitted as a separate motion and may not be combined with any other pleading or motion, but a Notice of Hearing or Notice of Time to Object may be included with the motion if the Notice is identified in the title of the pleading.
(2) Dispositive motions in adversary proceedings must be accompanied by a separate memorandum as provided by LBR 9013-2. Affidavits and other supporting papers must be filed with the motion and memorandum.
(3) A party who files a motion, other than a dispositive motion in an adversary proceeding, may either file a separate memorandum or may include in the motion a short, concise statement of the arguments and authorities relied on.
(4) Any motion to vacate or continue a hearing will be summarily denied if it does not contain an averment as to the position of the opposing party.
(B) Hearings.
(1) Any party, either proposing or opposing a motion, who does not intend to actively participate or prosecute its respective position, must immediately notify all counsel of record and the bankruptcy Judge's chambers. Unless excused by the Court from attending, the failure of counsel or pro se party to be present at a scheduled hearing will be deemed a waiver of the motion or consent to the relief requested.
(2) In response to a non-dispositive motion filed in an adversary proceeding opposing parties shall file a statement conceding the motion or an objection to a motion within 14 days of the filing of the motion. Motions filed in adversary proceedings may be considered by the Court without hearing or will be resolved on oral argument at the Court's discretion.
(3) Expedited hearings. A motion for an expedited hearing on a matter shall be filed as a separate pleading. Such motions may be granted only for good cause stated in the pleading. Upon consideration, the court shall enter an order scheduling the hearing on the underlying matter in compliance with Fed. Rule Bankr P. 9006(c).
(a) The motion shall contain a statement reflecting the efforts to confer with affected parties regarding the relief requested or the reasons why conferring was not possible or practical.
(b) The court may rule, without further notice or hearing on the motion.
(C) Proposed Orders. The movant shall submit a separate proposed order concurrently with the filing of any motion. The proposed order shall not include the heading of counsel submitting the order. See LBR 9072-1(A).
