Centre Cnty. C.P. Local Civil Rules Local Rule 208.3(a)

(1) Except for motions made orally during a trial or hearing, all motions shall be in writing.

All motions shall include a scheduling Order which will be completed by the Judge

assigned to that motion, as well as a proposed Order specifying the relief sought by the

moving party.

(2) All motions shall be filed with the Prot honotary’s Office, which will then forward the

motion to the Court Administrator’s Office. The Court Administrator’s Office will

assign the motion to a Judge for disposition. The assigned Judge will then issue an Order

setting forth a briefing schedule and a date for argument, if any. The Prothonotary’s

Office will notify all counsel of record and/or unrepresented parties of the scheduling. In

the event that either or both parties wish to submit the matter on briefs without oral

argument, they shall communicate that wish to the Court, in writing, prior to the

Argument day. Failure to file a brief in a timely manner without written leave of the

Court may result in the Court determining the issues raised in the motions to be

uncontroverted.

(3) Emergency motions shall be governed by the procedure set forth above. It is the duty of

the moving party to bring to the attention of the Prothonotary and the Court

Administrator’s Office the emergency nature of the motion.
