     (d)      Motions and Other Papers.

          (1)  Scope of Rules.  Except when specifically
               provided in another rule, this rule governs
               all motions in civil cases.  See, for
               example, LCR 56 and LCR 94.04.

          (2)  Dates of Filing, Hearing and Consideration.

                (A) Filing and Scheduling of Motion.  The moving party
                    shall serve and file all motion papers no later than six (6)
                    court days before the date the party wishes the motion to be
                    considered.  A motion must be scheduled by a party for
                    hearing on an appropriate motion docket for the type of
                    matter to be heard.

                (B) Working Copies.  Working copies of the
                    motion and all papers in support or
                    opposition, if provided, shall be
                    delivered to the judge who is to hear
                    the motion no later than the day they
                    are to be served on all other parties,
                    at 215 South Oak Street, #209, Colville,
                    WA  99114, regardless of which county in
                    which the motion is filed.  The working
                    copies of all papers shall be marked on
                    the upper right corner of the first page
                    with the date, time and county of
                    hearing and the name of the judge.

                (C) Opposing Papers.  Any party opposing a motion shall
                   file the original responsive papers in opposition to a
                   motion, serve copies on parties and deliver any working
                   copies to the judge as in (B) above no later than 12:00 noon
                   two court days before the date the motion is to be heard.

                (D)  Reply.  Any papers in strict reply shall be filed,
                   copies served on parties, and any working copies delivered
                   to the hearing judge as in (B) above no later than 12:00
                   noon on the court day before the date of the hearing.

                (E)  Sanctions.  Any material offered at a time later than
                   required by this rule, and any reply material which is not
                   in strict reply, will not be considered by the Court over
                   objection of counsel except upon the imposition of
                   appropriate sanctions, unless the Court orders otherwise.
