Requirement
(a) Rule or Statutory Basis. A motion shall be in writing, unless made during a hearing, and shall specify the rules and statutory provisions upon which it is based and the legal authorities that support the requested relief, either in the motion or in a separate memorandum of law, and the factual grounds for relief.

A response to a written motion shall be in writing and shall state the factual grounds upon which relief is opposed, and the legal authorities that support the respondent’s position, either in the response or in a separate memorandum of law. Failure to provide this information may be grounds to strike the response or to grant the motion by default. (c) Proposed Order. A motion shall be accompanied by a proposed order. (d) Entities to Receive Notice. In addition to the notice required by any applicable Bankruptcy Rule or local rule, notice of a motion shall be given to any entity having or claiming an interest in the subject matter of the proposed action or order or who otherwise would be affected by the proposed action or order. (e) Proof of Service. Unless the movant is proceeding by order to show cause or has otherwise requested that the Court issue an order scheduling a hearing under E.D.N.Y. LBR 9077-1, all motions, documents, or proposed orders shall be filed with proof of service on all relevant parties. (f) Hearing and Oral Argument Required. Except as provided in E.D.N.Y.
