(a) Form of Application. A prayer for a temporary restraining order or
preliminary injunction set forth in a pleading will not bring the issue before the Court
prior to the time of trial. If a ruling before trial is desired, a party must separately file a
motion and brief.
(b) Hearing. A motion seeking a preliminary injunction will be considered
and determined on the official court file including affidavits, briefs and other documents
filed in support thereof without oral argument or testimony unless otherwise ordered by
the Court. A request for leave to present oral argument or testimony in support of or in
opposition to such motion must be included in the motion or response.
