LCrRLJ 8.2
                           MOTIONS


     At the pre-jury trial conference, the parties must
state with specificity all motions and counsel may be
required to articulate on the record the basis for any
motion.  If by the pre-jury trial conference, the motion is
not made in writing and submitted with a written memorandum
of authorities in support of the motion, the moving party
shall file no later than 7 days following the pre-jury trial
conference such written memorandum, unless otherwise allowed
by the court.  Opposing counsel may be ordered to serve and
file a memorandum of authorities in opposition to the
motion.  The court will determine if an evidentiary hearing
is required and will set a time for a hearing on the motions.

     The parties, at the pre-jury trial conference or as
soon thereafter, shall inform the court if a special setting
may be required due to the anticipated length of the hearing
(in excess of 30 minutes).
