                            MOTIONS


(a)  Motion Day.

Motions shall be noted for and will be set the 2nd and last
Friday of each month unless otherwise authorized by the court.

(b)  Filing of Motions, Memoranda, and Affidavits.

The content and length of the Note for Hearing, Brief,
Memoranda, and Affidavits are governed by LCRLJ 40 (b).

(c)  Copies of Motions, Memoranda and Affidavits.

A copy of the motion, brief, memoranda, documents and
affidavits shall be furnished to the Judge after the
originals have been filed.  Responding briefs, memoranda,
and other documents shall also be filed with the Clerk, and
copies furnished to the assigned Judge.  Failure to comply
with this requirement may result in a continuance and
imposition of terms.

(d) Pretrial Motions.

All pretrial motions shall be filed, served and noted for
hearing at least five days prior to the date specified for
the hearing. Except as specially approved by the Court, all
motions will be noted for hearing on the second or last
Monday of the month. NO PRETRIAL MOTIONS SHALL BE HEARD OR
NOTED FOR HEARING ON THE TRIAL DATE. Where no testimony is
required, each side will be given ten minutes maximum in
motion argument.  If the hearing of a motion will take more
than sixty minutes per side, notification must be given to
the Court with an estimate of the time necessary at least
ten days in advance so the Court may then specially set the
motion. Furthermore, all 3.5 hearings must be noted by the
defendant for the Motion calendar. The defendant must be
present at the 3.5 hearing.
