General Order In re Noting Motions for Hearing - April 2024

Rule of Appellate Procedure 17.4(a)(2) provides that each division of the Court of Appeals will determine by General Order whether a party may set a motion for hearing in the Court of Appeals. It is hereby

ORDERED that a party may not set any motion for oral argument in Division One. The court may set a motion for oral argument if the court determines that oral argument would be beneficial to its decision making. It is further

ORDERED that motions set before a commissioner will be decided without oral argument unless oral argument is requested by the commissioner. It is further

ORDERED that after this court notifies the parties in writing that a motion has been set for consideration without oral argument by a commissioner on a particular date, a party may then request oral argument on the motion. A commissioner's decision to consider a motion without oral argument is not subject to a motion to modify. It is further

ORDERED that the General Order dated September 27, 2012 regarding Noting Motions for Hearing and the General Order dated August 18, 2014 regarding RALJ Discretionary Reviews are rescinded.

     Dated this 1^st day of April, 2024.

FOR THE COURT:

     Lori K. Smith, Chief Judge
