    (a) Pleadings. Motions to suppress physical, oral or identification

authorities in support of the motion. Opposing counsel may be ordered to
serve and file a memorandum of authorities in opposition to the motion. The

the moving papers. If the court determines that no evidentiary hearing is

the court shall enter written findings of fact and conclusions of law.
