3. Plaintiff and defense counsel are reminded of their continuing duty to

notify chambers immediately of any settlement or other disposition (see Local Rule 16-160). In

addition, the parties are cautioned that pursuant to Local Rule 78-230(c), opposition to the

granting of a motion must be filed fourteen days preceding the noticed hearing date. The Rule

further provides that “[n]o party will be entitled to be heard in opposition to a motion at oral

arguments if written opposition to the motion has not been timely filed by that party.” 

Moreover, Local Rule 78-230(j) provides that failure to appear may be deemed withdrawal of

opposition to the motion or may result in sanctions. Finally, Local Rule 11-110 provides that

failure to comply with the Local Rules “may be grounds for imposition by the Court of any and

all sanctions authorized by statute or Rule or within the inherent power of the Court.” 

DATED: April 23, 2009
