2. Emergency Motion Procedure. Emergency motions are assigned in rotation from a separate emergency routing log. The papers are forwarded to all panel members simultaneously. If the matter requires that counsel contact panel members individually, the clerk after first securing panel approval will advise counsel (or parties) of the identity of the panel members to whom the appeal is assigned.
3. Motions to Expedite Appeals. Except as otherwise provided in these rules, and unless the court directs otherwise, an appeal may be expedited only by the court upon motion and for good cause shown. Unless the court otherwise specifies, the clerk will fix an appropriate briefing schedule which will permit the appeal to be heard at an early date.
4. Motions after Assignment of Appeal to Calendar. After an appeal is assigned to a non-argument or oral argument calendar, motions in that appeal are circulated to that panel rather than to an administrative motions panel.
5. Signature Required. 11th Cir. R. 25-4 requires motions to be signed by an attorney or by a party proceeding pro se.
6. Acknowledgment of Motions. The clerk will acknowledge filing of a motion if a stamped self-addressed envelope is provided.
7. Withdrawing Motions. If a party no longer requires a ruling by the court on a pending motion, the filing party should file a motion to withdraw the motion.
