Counsel filing a motion must, at the time of filing, notice it for submission within a reasonable
time. Unless otherwise ordered by the court, motions must be filed not later than the fifteenth day
preceding the date assigned for submission and actual notice of the submission date must be
given to opposing counsel at least fifteen days before the submission date, regardless of which
FRCP 5(b) service method is used. The motion and supporting memorandum must also be
served with the notice.
The noticed date is the date the motion is deemed submitted to the court for decision and after
which no further briefing will be allowed, except with prior leave of court. No oral argument, in-
court presentation or live hearing concerning contested motions will be conducted on the
submission date, except when requested in accordance with Local Rule 78.1 or if ordered by the
court. [Amended February 1, 2011]
