N.D. Cal. Civil L.R. 7-2
Notice and Supporting Papers
(a) Time. Except as otherwise ordered or permitted by the assigned Judge or these Local
Rules, and except for motions made during the course of a trial or hearing, all motions
must be filed, served and noticed in writing on the motion calendar of the assigned
Judge for hearing not less than 35 days after filing of the motion. Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(d),
which extends deadlines that are tied to service (as opposed to filing), does not apply
and thus does not extend this deadline.
(b) Form. In one filed document not exceeding 25 pages in length, a motion must contain:
(1) On the first page in the space opposite the caption and below the case number,
the noticed hearing date and time;
(2) In the first paragraph, notice of the motion including date and time of hearing;
(3) In the second paragraph, a concise statement of what relief or Court action the
movant seeks; and
(4) In the succeeding paragraphs, the points and authorities in support of the motion
— in compliance with Civil L.R. 7-4(a).
(c) Proposed Order. Unless excused by the Judge who will hear the motion, each motion
must be accompanied by a proposed order.
(d) Affidavits or Declarations. Each motion must be accompanied by affidavits or
declarations pursuant to Civil L.R. 7-5.
History
Commentary The time periods set forth in Civil L.R. 7-2 and 7-3 regarding notice, response, and reply to motions are minimum time periods. For complex motions, parties are encouraged to stipulate to or seek a Court order establishing a longer notice period with correspondingly longer periods for response or reply. See Civil L.R. 1-4 and 1-5.
