MOTION
HEARINGS SCHEDULES
All
dispositive motions shall be filed by July 13,
2021. Hearing on such motions shall be on
August 10, 2021 at 1:30 p.m. The
parties are reminded of the notice requirements as outlined
in Local Rule 230(b).
The
time deadline for dispositive motions does not apply to
motions for continuances, temporary restraining orders or
other emergency applications.
All
purely legal issues are to be resolved by timely pre-trial
motions. The parties are reminded that motions in
limine are procedural devices designed to address the
admissibility of evidence and are cautioned that the court
will look with disfavor upon substantive motions presented at
the final pre-trial conference or at trial in the guise of
motions in limine. The parties are further cautioned
that if any legal issue which should have been tendered to
the court by proper pre-trial motion requires resolution by
the court after the established law and motion cut-off date,
substantial sanctions may be assessed for the failure to file
the appropriate pre-trial motion.
