(B) motion for out-of-state process;
(C) motion for order of publication for process;
(D) application for default;
(E) motion for judgment upon default;
(F) motion to withdraw or substitute counsel;
(G) motion for continuance, provided the good cause supporting it is set forth in the motion and affidavit required by Local Rule 7.6;
(H) motion for confirmation of sale;
(I) motion to withdraw or substitute exhibits;
(J) motion for extensions of time providing the good cause supporting it is set forth in the motion;

(3) Pre-filing Conferences Required of Counsel. Prior to filing any motion in a civil case, except a motion for injunctive relief, for judgment on the pleadings, for summary judgment, to dismiss or to permit maintenance of a classaction, to dismiss for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, for pro hac vice admission, or to involuntarily dismiss an action, for garnishment or other relief under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 64, or otherwise properly filed ex parte under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and these Local Rules, or a petition to enforce or vacate an arbitration award, counsel for the movant shall confer (orally or in writing), or make reasonable effort to confer (orally or in writing),with all parties or non-parties who may be affected by the relief sought in the motion in a good faith effort to resolve by agreement the issues to be raised in the motion. Counsel conferring with movant’s counsel shall cooperate and act in good faith in attempting to resolve the dispute. At the end of the motion, and above the signature block, counsel for the moving party shall certify either:
(B) that counsel for the movant has made reasonable efforts to confer with all parties or non-parties who may be affected by the relief sought in the motion, which efforts shall be identified with specificity in the statement (including the date, time, and manner of each effort), but has been unable to do so. If certain of the issues have been resolved by agreement, the certification shall specify the issues so resolved and the issues remaining unresolved.
(2) A party who desires oral argument or a hearing of any motion shall request it within the motion or opposing memorandum in a separate section titled “request for hearing.” The request shall set forth in detail the reasons why a hearing is desired and would be helpful to the Court and shall estimate the time required for argument. The Court in its discretion may grant or deny a hearing as requested, upon consideration of both the request and any response thereto by an opposing party.
(3) Discovery motions may be referred to and heard by a United States Magistrate Judge.
(4) With respect to:
(B) any motion or other matter as to which the Court has conducted a hearing but has not entered an order or otherwise determined the motion or matter within ninety (90) days of the hearing, the movant or applicant, whether party or non-party, shall file and serve on all parties and any affected non-parties within fourteen (14) days thereafter a “Notification of Ninety Days Expiring” which shall contain the following information:
(ii) the title and docket number of any and all responses or opposing memoranda, along with the dates of service and filing, or if no such papers have been filed, the date on which such papers were due;
(iii) the title and docket entry number of any reply memoranda, or any other papers filed and served in connection with the motion or other matter, as well as the dates of service and filing; and
(iv) the date of any hearing held on the motion or other matter.
Time shall be computed under this Local Rule in accordance with applicable federal rules of procedure (e.g., Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(a) and Fed. R. Crim. P.45(a)).
(2) Length. Absent prior permission of the Court, neither a motion and its incorporated memorandum of law nor the opposing memorandum of law shall exceed twenty (20) pages; a reply memorandum shall not exceed ten (10) pages. As long as no substantive part of the submission appears on the same page(s), the following items do not count toward page limitations for purposes of this rule and any other rules or orders setting forth page limitations: title pages preceding the first page of text, tables of contents, tables of citations, “request for hearing” sections, signature pages, certificates of good faith conferences, and certificates of service. Filing and service of multiple motions for partial summary judgment is prohibited, absent prior permission of the Court. This prohibition does not preclude a party from filing both a motion for summary judgment asserting an immunity from suit and a later motion for summary judgment addressing any issues that may remain in the case. This prohibition also is not triggered when, as permitted by Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(d), the Court elects to treat a motion filed pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b) or 12(c) as a summary judgment motion.
(2) Expedited Motions. A filer whose time-sensitive motion does not qualify as an emergency motion but who nonetheless requires an expedited ruling by a date certain may file an expedited motion in lieu of an emergency motion. The motion must include the words “Expedited Motion” in the title and must set forth in detail the date by which an expedited ruling is needed and the reason the ruling is needed by the stated date.
A party appearing pro se must conventionally file emergency motions and expedited motions.
(2) what ruling was made thereon; and
(3) what new or different facts and circumstances are claimed to exist which did not exist, or were not shown, upon the prior application.
