Local Rule CR1.3: MOTIONS AND BRIEFING IN CRIMINAL CASES

RULE CR1.3 MOTIONS AND BRIEFING IN CRIMINAL CASES

(a) Form and Filing. All motions, unless made during a hearing or at trial, must be filed in writing with the clerk. The motion or opening brief filed in support of the motion must contain: (1) a statement of the specific relief sought; (2) a statement of the nature of the matter before the court; (3) a concise statement of the facts; (4) the argument, which must refer to all statutes, rules, and authorities relied upon; and (5) when appropriate, whether there has been prior consultation with other parties and, if so, the views of other parties.

(b) Joint or Unopposed Motions. If a motion is joint or unopposed, the caption and the body of the motion must so state.

(c) Supplemental Authorities. If pertinent and significant authorities come to a party's attention after the party's final brief has been filed—or after oral argument but before a decision—a party may promptly advise the court by notice filed on the CM/ECF system setting forth the citations. The notice must state reasons for the supplemental citations, referring either to the page of the brief or to a point argued orally; if the supplemental citations refer to a brief, the notice must be linked in the CM/ECF system to that brief. The body of the notice must not exceed 350 words. Any response must be made within 5 days and must be similarly linked and limited. *** As adopted 8/26/24.
