Conferences scheduled by the Court after submission of motion papers must be attended by an attorney fully familiar with all aspects of the action. That attorney must have full authority to resolve all issues which may arise during that conference. Any conference which must be aborted as a result of lack of knowledge, lack of authority or lack of portions of the file relevant to the issues raised will be deemed a failure to attend a scheduled court appearance and may subject the offending firm to the sanctions set forth in Subpart 130-2 of the Rules of the Chief Administrator of the Courts. Failure of the moving party to appear may also be deemed voluntary withdrawal of the motion resulting in the motion being marked withdrawn and disposed. Motions are made upon submission.
Motions concerning discovery require appearances of attorneys for all parties.
Oral arguments will not be permitted without prior permission of the Court. Use of calendar services is permitted both to submit papers and to request adjournments except as hereinafter provided. No more than two adjournments on consent will be granted at the call of any motion. Further adjournments past the second adjournment will require attorneys for all parties to personally appear. If the application is an Order to Show Cause which contains a stay or temporary restraining order which parties cannot agree to have extended pending final determination, then all parties must appear on the return date.
