(A) Emergency relief. Any motion that requests a ruling within five days after filing must be plainly marked “EMERGENCY” and accompanied by a certificate stating:

(1) the reason the motion was not filed earlier;

(2) the date the underlying order was entered;

(3) the time and date the order becomes effective;

(4) the telephone numbers and email addresses for all counsel of record and, where available, unrepresented parties; and

(5) in immigration cases seeking a stay of removal or other emergency relief, the petitioner must attach to the motion a copy of the transcript from the Immigration Judge’s ruling, if relevant, plus copies of the written rulings of the Immigration Judge and Board of Immigration Appeals.

(B) Ex parte relief. Any motion that requests the court to act ex parte must include a certificate stating the reason it was not possible to provide notice to the other parties.

(C) Notice to Clerk. If a motion for emergency relief is contemplated, the movant must notify the Clerk in advance at the earliest practical time so that arrangements can be made for timely submission to the court.
