Grays Harbor County Superior Court

		
		
						    RULE 4.5
						OMNIBUS HEARING

    (d)  Motions.

    (1)  How Made. The moving party shall note motions in a timely manner so that all hearings and
motions (other than final pretrial motions which can be completed before the time the trial is set to
begin) will be heard at least seven days prior to the date of trial. Failure to timely note motions for
hearing in accordance with this rule shall be deemed a waiver of the pretrial hearing on such motions.
The civil rules relating to motions and hearings (LCR 7) apply to criminal cases.

    (2)  Legal Authority in Support of Motions. Counsel shall submit briefs that specify legal authority
in support of, or in opposition to, a pending motion. The brief of the moving party shall be submitted at
least four days before the scheduled hearing, and the brief of the responding party shall be filed at least
by noon one day prior to the day of the hearing. Copies of all motion briefs shall be submitted to the Judge
who has been assigned to hear the motion.

    (3)  Reapplication on Same Facts. When a motion seeking relief has been refused in whole or in part or
has been granted conditionally and the condition has not been performed, the same application for relief
shall not be presented to another Judge without advising the second Judge of the fact that the prior motion
was previously refused or conditioned.

    (4)  Subsequent Motion, Different Facts. If a subsequent motion for relief is made upon an alleged
different state of facts, it shall be shown by affidavit what application was made, when and to what Judge,
what order or decision was made thereon, and what new facts are claimed to be shown. Any order obtained
in violation of this section may be set aside.

    (h)  Memorandum. The parties may submit an agreed order on omnibus. If an agreed order will not be
submitted, each party shall prepare and submit an omnibus application substantially in the form set forth
in Criminal Rules for Superior Court on or before the time set for the omnibus hearing. It is not necessary
to make separate written motions where such motions have been checked on the party's omnibus application.
The moving party shall note such motions for hearing in accordance with these rules. Briefs and supporting
documents shall be submitted as required by these local rules.
