L.A.R. 27.7: Motions in Which Expedited Consideration is Requested

If the court or clerk determines that a motion requires expedited consideration, the court or the clerk will direct that a response in opposition, if any, must be filed within 7 days after service of the motion and any reply within 3 days after service of the response unless a shorter time is directed by the court or clerk. Service of documents filed under this rule, including the initial motion must be in accordance with L.A.R. 27.2 and 113.4 unless the court or clerk directs that a more expeditious method of service be used. To the fullest extent possible, the clerk must be given advance notice by telephone that a motion requiring expedited or urgent consideration may be filed.

Section 27.7 was added in 2002 to clarify procedures for expedited motions.
