Rule 7-4 Emergency Motions and Motions for Expedited Proceeding

(a) Notice to the Court. If a party files or intends to file a motion for emergency relief or expedited proceedings in the Court, such party should contact chambers as soon as practicable, but in all instances, contact shall be made within 24 hours after filing such a motion. If circumstances permit, the moving party shall give notice to all other interested parties before or contemporaneously with the filing of the motion. The moving party or any interested party may request a scheduling conference to address the motion. The moving party shall promptly advise all other interested parties of all conference dates and times obtained. The party filing a petition for emergency relief or expedited proceedings shall certify in writing that the party is seeking that relief in good faith and for good cause.

(b) Briefing Schedule. As with other briefs filed pursuant to this article, the parties are expected to agree on a mutually acceptable briefing schedule, where possible, for all motions filed under this rule. Absent such an agreement, the Court may, in its discretion, establish a briefing schedule on a case-by-case basis.

(c) Briefing Limitations. Unless the Court orders otherwise, the briefing limitations and other requirements of BCR 7-3 (including word count limitations) shall apply to all briefs filed under this rule.
