NJDCR 6

(a) All motions and similar moving documents, unless made during a hearing or trial, shall be in writing, and if requiring testimony, shall comply with the notice requirements of NRCP 6(c).

(b) A motion or response accompanied by a memorandum that consists of bare citations to statutes, rules or cases does not comply with DCR 13, and the court may decline to consider the motion or response.

(c) Proposed orders shall accompany the motion and opposing memorandum.

(d) Upon the expiration of the time for filing a reply and points and authorities, the Judicial Assistant shall submit the matter to the Judge for decision. A written or oral request for submission on the motion is unnecessary. If the parties have agreed to extend the time permitted to respond to the substance of the motion, such agreement must be submitted in writing to the court by letter prior to the date that the response to the motion is due.

(e) Decisions on all motions, except as otherwise provided for in these rules or by statute, shall be rendered without oral argument, unless oral argument is requested by:

(1) The court, in which event the court shall set a date and time for hearing; or

(2) Either party at the time of filing the motion or the response thereto, in which event the court may set a date and time for a hearing.

In all cases where the granting of a motion would dispose of the action on the merits, and with prejudice, the court may grant oral argument on the request of the opposing party. If no such request is made, oral argument shall be deemed to be waived.

(f) On motions for summary judgment, each party shall file a concise statement setting forth each fact material to the disposition of the motion that the party claims is or is not genuinely in issue, or is in dispute but is not material to the motion, and cite the particular portions of any pleading, affidavit, deposition, interrogatory, answer, admission, or other matter upon which he or she relies in making such argument.

(g) Motions to compel discovery or for sanctions for failure to provide discovery will not be considered unless a statement of the movant is attached thereto, certifying that, after personal consultation and a good faith effort to comply, counsel has been unable to satisfactorily resolve the matter.

(h) The rehearing of motions must be done in conformity with DCR 13. A party seeking reconsideration of a ruling of the court, other than an order that may be addressed by motion pursuant to NRCP 50(b), 52(b), 59, or 60, must file a motion for such relief within twenty (20) days after entry of the order or judgment, unless the time is shortened or enlarged by written order. A motion for rehearing or reconsideration must be served, noticed, filed, and heard as any other motion. A motion for rehearing may not toll the period for filing a notice of appeal from a final order or judgment.

(i) Any cross-motion or countermotion must be filed as a separate document unless it is pleaded in the alternative.
