A. Any questions that arise during a lawsuit and that cannot be settled by agreement of the parties may be presented to the Court in a request for an order, which is called a “motion.”

B. Motions may be made in writing or orally in open court.

C. Written motions must contain the reason for the request and include any documents or other evidence to support the request. Before filing the motion, the moving party must deliver a copy of the motion and any attachments to the other parties and file the proof of service with the written motion.

D. Oral motions made in open court may be discussed between the Court and the parties, with the Court taking the motion under advisement or ruling on the motion following discussion. (Res. 2021-43; Res. 2020-60)
