N.D. Ga. LR 7.5
Applications to Judges in Chambers
(A) Judge to Whom Request Submitted. Whenever an attorney seeks an
immediate order of the Court, the attorney must submit a motion to the district judge to
whom the case has been assigned if the district judge is present within the district. If
the district judge is not available or if the case has not yet been assigned to a particular
judge, the attorney shall contact the clerk for instructions as to which judge the motion
should be submitted. All courtesy copies of proposed orders must be clearly marked.
(B) Proper Notice to Adversary. Whenever an attorney desires to confer with a
judge or magistrate judge of this Court in chambers with regard to a pending case, the
attorney shall first give proper notice to opposing counsel, disclosing the date, hour,
and nature of the conference sought, and shall satisfy the district judge or magistrate
judge that such notice has been given. Emergency situations in which it is impossible
to contact opposing counsel and those situations (other than motions to proceed in
forma pauperis) where ex parte motions or applications are contemplated by the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure are excepted from this rule.
