Ind. Marion Cnty. Mass Tort Local Rule LR49-TR5 Rule 604
Motion Practice
A. Motions for Enlargement of Time.
1. Plaintiffs. Plaintiffs shall not seek consent of opposing counsel before filing a motion for
enlargement of time, but shall file a motion for enlargement of time. Defendants shall have five days,
including days when the Court is not open, after the filing of plaintiffs’ motion to file an objection.
2. Defendants. Defendants shall determine whether opposing counsel objects to a motion for
enlargement of time before filing. The motion shall specify which opposing counsel was contacted
and whether opposing counsel objected to the motion.
a. Plaintiff does not object. If opposing counsel does not object, only a “Notice of
Agreed Enlargement of Time” needs to be filed and the name of the counsel
consenting to the enlargement shall be specified. Such notice shall not include a
proposed order.
b. Contents of all motions for enlargement. The contents of a motion for enlargement of
time or notice of agreed enlargement of time shall include:
1. Whether the case is currently set for trial, and, if so, when.
2. The filing to be submitted, the time period that is sought to be extended, and the
time period that triggered it.
3. The specific due date requested.
Any motion not satisfying these requirements may be summarily denied.
Such notices are not required for agreed extensions of deadlines related to master or case-specific discovery responses.
B. Time for Response to All Motions. Notwithstanding LR49-TR5-203, any party
objecting to a motion shall have 10 days from the date of filing to file a response, except for motions
filed pursuant to Indiana Trial Rule 41, or as otherwise provided by Mass Tort Local Rule or Court
order. The party filing the motion or any other interested party in the case may file a reply thereto
within seven days of the responsive filing.
The Court will not await a response before ruling on the following motions: defendants’
motions to enlarge time, to file an oversize brief, or to withdraw an appearance.
C. Joinder in Motions. Any party wishing to join in a filed motion shall file a notice of
joinder within seven days of the filing of the motion.
D. Proposed Order Required. Motions must be accompanied by a proposed order with a
date and signature line.
