All motions must be filed within deadlines set by the Court. Unless otherwise ordered
by the Court, all memoranda in opposition to a motion shall be filed within fourteen (14)

are to agree among themselves which party is to file the initial motion. After that motion
has been filed, the other party shall file a cross-motion accompanied by a single

a reply. If more than two (2) parties intend to file motions in a multi-party case, counsel
