(a) Oral Arguments. With regard to oral arguments on motions filed pursuant
to Rule 12(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, see Rule 7.2(f), Local Rules of
Civil Procedure.
(b) Motions to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction. If one or more of the
grounds asserted in a motion to dismiss is a lack of personal or subject matter
jurisdiction, the time schedule for filing and service of responsive and reply memoranda
will be the same as for motions for summary judgment, as set forth in Rule 56.1, Local
Rules of Civil Procedure. The Court may order a different briefing schedule.
(c) Motions to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim or for Judgment on the
Pleadings. No motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim or counterclaim, pursuant to
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6), or motion for judgment on the pleadings on a
claim or counterclaim, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(c), will be
considered or decided unless the moving party includes a certification that, before filing
the motion, the movant notified the opposing party of the issues asserted in the motion
and the parties were unable to agree that the pleading was curable in any part by a
permissible amendment offered by the pleading party. The movant may comply with this
rule through personal, telephonic, or written notice of the issues that it intends to assert in
a motion. A motion that does not contain the required certification may be stricken
summarily.
