Rule 6.6 Time for Filing Summary Judgment Motions

If you plan to ask the court to dismiss a case before trial (called a summary judgment motion), you need to file that request early. The court will not push back a trial date just because someone waited too long to file this type of motion.

This rule basically means that timing is your responsibility. If you file too late, the trial moves forward anyway, and the judge may not even consider your motion.
