Notice of Motion Setting; Briefing Deadlines

W.D. La. LR 7.4

If a motion is contested, the clerk of court will ordinarily issue a Notice of Motion Setting that provides briefing deadlines, chambers copy requirements, and related information. A judge may order other instructions with respect to a motion. If no Notice of Motion Setting issues and the judge does not order briefing instructions, the default rule is that a memorandum in opposition may be filed within 14 days after a motion is filed, and a reply memorandum may be filed within seven days after the opposition is filed.
