Motion Practice

---

The Court will send a notice to counsel when scheduling a motion hearing, usually 6-8 weeks following submission. The Court enforces E.D. Mich. LR 7.1(d) with respect to the filing of responses to motions. The FULL TEXT of any source cited should be filed with the Court as an appendex; the relevant portion should be highlighted or underlined. The appendix shall contain an index. The Court generally refers civil discovery motions to a Magistrate Judge. The Court rarely grants ex parte applications pursuant to E.D. Mich. LR 7.1(c)(3)(A) to file a brief longer than 20 pages. The Court requires strict compliance with E.D. Mich. LR 7.1(a) regarding seeking concurrence in motions. A proposed order attached to motion papers is preferred by the Court.
