Rule 9077-1 ORDERS TO SHOW CAUSE; EX PARTE ORDERS; ORDERS SHORTENING TIME

(a) Orders to Show Cause.

An order to show cause shall be based on an affidavit or an affirmation showing reasons why proceeding other than by notice of motion is necessary. The affidavit or affirmation also shall state whether a previous application for similar relief has been made.

(b) Ex Parte Orders.

An ex parte request for an order shall be based on an affidavit or an affirmation showing cause for ex parte relief, and stating whether a previous application for similar relief has been made.

(c) Orders Shortening Time.

When expedited relief is thought necessary and the requirements for an order to show cause are not present and ex parte relief is not appropriate, the moving party may proceed by submitting a proposed order shortening time. A request for an order shortening time may be made ex parte and shall be supported by an affidavit or an affirmation showing cause for such expedited relief and stating whether a previous application for similar relief has been made.
