Counsel seeking to appear at a motion hearing by telephone must make a
request by letter to the court, with copies to all parties, as far in advance of the
hearing as practicable. The letter shall include the telephone number at which
counsel will be available and shall include the position of all other counsel
regarding the request. Whether such an appearance will be considered, what
procedural requirements will be imposed, and the type of relief granted are within
the sole discretion of the court. Telephone appearances by cellular telephone are
discouraged.
