D.N.M.LR-Civ. 7.4
Timing of and Restrictions on Responses and Replies
(a) Timing. A response must be served and filed within fourteen (14) calendar days
after service of the motion. A reply must be served and filed within fourteen (14)
calendar days after service of the response. These time periods are computed in
accordance with FED. R. CIV. P. 6(a) and (d) and may be extended by agreement of all
parties. For each agreed extension, the party requesting the extension must file a
notice identifying the new deadline and the document (response or reply) to be filed.
If an extension of time is opposed, the party seeking the extension must file a separate
motion within the applicable fourteen (14) day period. An extension of briefing time
must not interfere with established case management deadlines.
(b) Surreply. The filing of a surreply requires leave of the Court.
(c) Expedited Briefing. When the Court orders an expedited briefing schedule, briefs
and any supporting papers must be served on each party by the most expeditious
reasonable method of service.
(d) Cases With Briefing Schedule Set by Court (Bankruptcy or Social Security
Appeals). The parties will be given a briefing schedule by the Clerk or by the Court.
Timing of responses and replies must conform with the briefing schedule unless all
parties agree otherwise.
(e) Notice of Completion. Upon completion of briefing, the movant must file a notice
certifying that the motion is ready for decision and identifying the motion and all
related filings by date of filing and docket number.
