LR 7
PLEADINGS ALLOWED; FORM OF MOTIONS
(b) Motions and Other Papers.
(1) How Made.
(A) Reapplication on Same Facts. When a motion has been denied
in whole or in part (unless without prejudice) or when a motion has been
granted conditionally and the condition has not been performed, the same motion
may not be presented to another judge. Reapplication shall be made in the same
manner as a motion to reconsider. NOTE: SEE LR 56 FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT MOTIONS.
(B) Subsequent Motion; Different Facts. If a subsequent motion
is made upon alleged different facts, the moving party must show by affidavit
what motion was previously made, when and to which judge, what order or
decision was made on it, and what new facts are claimed to be shown.
(C) Notes for Motion Calendar; Time for Filing. Any party
desiring to bring any motion prior to trial, other than a motion for summary
judgment, must file with the Clerk and serve all parties and the Judge assigned
to hear the motion or the Presiding Judge at least five (5) court days before
the date fixed for such hearing. A BENCH COPY OF THE MOTION AND ALL SUPPORTING
DOCUMENTS SHALL BE DELIVERED TO THE CHELAN COUNTY COURTHOUSE OR MAILED OT THE
JUDGE. THE MAILING ADDRESS FOR ALL JUDGES IS P.O. BOX 880, WENATCHEE, WA
98807-0880. The documents should include a Note for Motion, the motion and
supporting documents.
(i) Note for Motion - Dissolution Actions. See Washington
Pattern Form.
(ii) Other Actions. The note must contain the title of the
court; the date, the time when the same shall be heard; the words "Note for
Motion", the names of the attorneys for all parties or parties pro se; the
nature of the motion; and by whom the motion is made. Attached as Exhibit B to
this Rule is an example form of a Note for Motion that may be used for Chelan
County causes. Any sections of Exhibit B that do not apply to the particular
motion may be deleted from the form prior to filing. This note for motion must
be signed by the attorney or party pro se filing the same, with the designation
of the party represented.
(iii) The note or other document shall provide a certificate of
mailing of all documents relating to the motion. If a party noting the matter
for hearing: (a) has a limited ability to speak or understand the English
Language, or (b) knows or, after reasonable inquiry has reason to believe,
that any other party to the action has limited ability to speak or understand
the English Language, the party noting the matter for hearing shall indicate on
the Note for Motion form that an interpreter is needed. If the matter being
noted is other than a family law matter, or if the language for which the
interpreter is needed is not Spanish, the party filing the Note for Motion
shall simultaneously with such filing provide a copy of the Note for Motion to
the Judicial Assistant. This paragraph shall not apply to State-initiated child
support enforcement or modification actions or to State-initiated paternity
actions so long as the State provides an interpreter for such proceedings.
Responding documents and briefs must be filed with the Clerk and copies
served on all parties and the Judge scheduled to hear the motion, no later than
noon two (2) court days prior to the hearing. Copies of any additional
responding or reply documents must be filed with the Clerk and served on all
parties no later than noon of the court day prior to the hearing.
(D) Late Filing; Terms. Any material offered at a time later
than required by this rule, over objection of counsel, may be rejected by the
Court, or the matter may be continued and the court may impose appropriate
terms or sanctions.
(E) Telephonic Hearing. Any party may request to argue any
motion by telephone conference call. The requesting party shall contact the
judge or commissioner scheduled to hear the motion at least three (3) days
before the hearing for permission under such conditions as ordered by the
court. All parties retain the right to argue motions in person, even if the
other party appears by telephone.
