All correspondence to the Court must clearly designate the name of the case, Index number, and the appearance date, if any. The members of the Bar should make every effort to notify their adversaries and co-counsel of all applications for adjournments in advance. Preliminary Conferences and Motions Appearances are required for all Preliminary Conferences. Parties may request a Preliminary Conference date by submission of a request to the Court or through calendar service.
Motions are unnecessary to request the scheduling of a preliminary conference.
Requests for adjournments, on consent, shall be made to Chambers prior to the conference date. Failure of movant to appear will result in motion being stricken from the calendar. Attorneys who seek oral argument on any motion should communicate their request to the Clerk prior to the call of the motion calendar or to the Court upon the call of the calendar. Use of calendar service is permitted both to submit papers and to request consent adjournments. No more than two adjournments on consent will be granted at the call of any motion.
