Rule 7.2 Removing a Case from State Court

(A) Filing State-Court Papers. At the time of a case's removal from state court, if feasible, and in any event within 14 days after removal, the removing party must file a copy of each paper filed or served in the state court.

(B) Pending Motions. For a motion that was pending in state court at the time of removal, the attorneys must confer and the parties must file supporting and opposing memoranda, unless (1) these steps were already taken in state court or (2) Local Rule 7.1 would not have required these steps for a motion originally filed in this District. The deadline for a supporting memorandum is 14 days after removal. The deadline for an opposing memorandum is 14 days after the later of the removal or the filing of the supporting memorandum.
