Part IX. General Provisions
- Motion. For good cause, a party may file a motion to expedite a hearing or shorten the resistance deadline of Local Rule 9013-1(B). The motion to expedite or shorten must be captioned, as appropriate, "Motion for Expedited Hearing" or "Motion for Shortened Notice", must be filed before and separately from the underlying motion, and cannot seek other relief. The motion must state the specific reasons an expedited hearing or shortened notice is necessary. If the motion is granted, the movant must serve the order expediting hearing or shortening time along with the underlying motion. The movant does not have to serve the motion to expedite or shorten, which the court may determine ex parte. The movant should not serve the underlying motion until the court rules on the motion to expedite or shorten. The movant must make a good faith effort to advise all parties in interest by telephone, email, or other means reasonably calculated to give prompt notice, of the date and time of the hearing, and substance of the motion. Before the hearing on the underlying motion, any party may object to the adequacy of the notice and for good cause shown, seek a continuance.
- Shortened Notice for Replacement Vehicle. After the bar date for non-governmental units to file a proof of claim passes, the debtor may file, without leave of court, a motion to borrow to replace a motor vehicle with a shortened resistance deadline under Local Rule 9013-1(B) of 10 days.
