during a hearing or trial in open court with a court reporter present, shall be made in writing, shall

requirement of writing is fulfilled if the motion is stated in a written notice of the hearing of the
motion.
(b) Subsequent Applications for Order After Refusal. If any motion be made to any judge and be
denied, in whole or in part, or be granted conditionally, no subsequent motion upon the same set of

made, it shall be void.
Note:
Section (a) is the language of Rule 7(b)(1), SCRCP, and Section (b) is the language of
Rule 43(1), SCRCP. The last sentence of Section (b) is taken from Circuit Court Rule 60.
