Motions
(a) Generally. A motion must state with particularity the grounds for the
motion, the relief sought, and the legal argument necessary to support it.
(b) Motions for an Extension of Time. Subject to any deadlines established
by the Court, parties may extend time limits by agreed order. Absent an
agreed order, the party seeking the extension must file a motion setting forth
the reasons for the extension and whether other parties consent. A response
opposing the motion must be filed within 7 days of service of the motion.
(c) Time for Filing Responses and Replies. Unless otherwise ordered by the
Court, a party opposing a motion must file a response within 21 days of

of the response.
(d) Page Limitations. Motions and responses may not exceed 25 pages
without leave of Court. Replies may not exceed 15 pages without leave of

from a proposed order pertaining to any other matter.
(f) Hearing or Oral Arguments on Motions. A party may request a hearing
or oral argument in a motion, response, or reply.
(g) Submission to the Court. A motion is submitted to the Court for decision
after completion of the hearing or oral argument – or if none – after the reply
is filed, or the time for filing the response or reply has expired.
(h) Copies of Cited Authority. If a motion, response, or reply contains a
citation to any authority not available electronically, a copy of the authority
