N.D. Cal. Civil L.R. 7-7
Continuance of Hearing or Withdrawal of Motion
(a) Before Opposition is Filed. Except for cases where the Court has issued a Temporary
Restraining Order, a party who has filed a motion may file a notice continuing the
originally noticed hearing date for that motion to a later date if:
(1) No opposition has been filed; and
(2) The notice of continuance is filed prior to the date on which the opposition is due
pursuant to Civil L.R. 7-3(a).
(b) After Opposition is Filed. After an opposition to a motion has been filed, the noticed
hearing date may be continued to a subsequent date upon order of the assigned Judge.
(c) Keeping Track of Hearing Dates. Counsel are responsible for knowing hearing dates
on motions.
(d) Effect on Time for Filing Opposition or Reply. Unless otherwise ordered by the
Court, the continuance of the hearing of a motion does not extend the time for filing
and serving the opposing papers or reply papers.
(e) Withdrawal. Within the time for filing and serving a reply, the moving party may file
and serve a notice of withdrawal of the motion. Upon the filing of a timely withdrawal,
the motion will be taken off-calendar. Otherwise, the Court may proceed to decide the
motion.
