If the motion needs to be reset or canceled, the setting attorney has an obligation to contact the Court to give as much advance notice as possible. If the case is to be pled rather than the motion is heard, the setting attorney should advise the Court as soon as practicable. The Court makes a great effort to review the pleadings and case law before the motion. Please provide the Court with any case law and a courtesy copy of the pleading at least two (2) days before the scheduled hearing date.
