(a) Requirements. When filing a motion or response, a party must:
(1) cite the legal authority upon which the party relies; and

(b) Time for Filing Response. If a party opposes a motion, the party must file its response with the clerk and serve a copy on all parties within 11 days of service of the motion.
Committee Notes
1. Rule 47 is a new rule consisting of portions of the substance of former CR-12, renumbered as CR-47 to conform more closely to the organizational structure of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and to make it clear that the requirements apply to all motions and responses and not only pretrial motions and responses. These changes are intended to be stylistic only, except as noted below.
2. The rule requires the submission of a proposed order with motions and responses.
