MOTIONS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE RELIEF
Miscellaneous administrative matters which require a Court order may be brought
to the Court’s attention through a motion for administrative relief. Examples of matters
that such motions may address include motions to exceed applicable page limitations;
requests to shorten time on a motion; requests to extend a response deadline; requests
to alter a briefing schedule; or requests to alter a discovery schedule that does not affect
dispositive motion filing dates, trial dates, or the final pre-trial conference.
(a) Procedure for Filing. A motion for administrative relief:
(1) must be labeled as a motion for administrative relief;
(2) may not exceed 5 pages (excluding declarations and exhibits);
(3) must set forth specifically the action requested, the reasons
supporting the request, and relevant background information (such as a description of
any similar relief that has previously been granted);
(4) must be accompanied by a proposed order;
(5) must include a statement setting forth the position of all parties
affected by the motion, or a statement explaining why such position could not be
ascertained; and
(6) if manually filed, must be delivered with all attachments on all parties
on the same day the motion is filed.
(b) Opposition or Supporting Statement. Any non-moving party may file an
opposition or supporting statement relating to a Motion for Administrative Relief within five
(5) days after the motion has been filed. The opposition or supporting statement:
(1) may not exceed 5 pages (excluding declarations and exhibits);

supporting statement; and
(3) if manually filed, must be delivered to all other parties the same day
