RULES  OF  THE  SUPREME  COURT 

3.  A motion to the Court shall be ﬁled with the Clerk and 
shall be accompanied by proof of service as required by Rule 
29.  No motion may be presented in open Court, other than 
a motion for admission to the Bar, except when the proceed­
ing  to  which  it  refers  is being  argued.  Oral  argument  on  a 
motion will not be permitted unless the Court so directs. 

4.  Any  response  to  a  motion  shall  be  ﬁled  as  promptly  as 
possible  considering  the  nature  of  the  relief  sought  and  any 
asserted  need  for  emergency  action,  and,  in  any  event, 
within  10  days  of  receipt,  unless  the  Court  or  a  Justice,  or 
the Clerk under Rule 30.4, orders otherwise.  A response to 
a  motion  prepared  as  required  by  Rule  33.1,  except  a  re­
sponse  to  a  motion  for  leave  to  ﬁle  an  amicus  curiae  brief 
(see Rule 37.5), shall be prepared in the same manner if time 
permits.  In  an  appropriate  case,  the  Court  may  act  on  a 
motion without waiting for a response. 

Rule 22.  Applications to Individual Justices 

1.  An  application  addressed  to  an  individual  Justice  shall 
be ﬁled with the Clerk, who will transmit it promptly to the 
Justice  concerned  if  an  individual  Justice  has  authority  to 
grant the sought relief. 

2.  The  original  and  two  copies  of  any  application  ad­
dressed to an individual Justice shall be prepared as required 
by  Rule  33.2,  and  shall  be  accompanied  by  proof  of  service 
as required by Rule 29. 

3.  An application shall be addressed to the Justice allotted 
to  the  Circuit  from  which  the  case  arises.  An  application 
arising  from  the  United  States  Court  of  Appeals  for  the 
Armed  Forces  shall  be  addressed  to  the  Chief  Justice. 
When  the  Circuit  Justice  is  unavailable  for  any  reason,  the 
application  addressed  to  that  Justice  will  be  distributed  to 
the  Justice  then  available  who  is  next  junior  to  the  Circuit 
Justice; the turn of the Chief Justice follows that of the most 
junior Justice. 

4.  A  Justice  denying  an  application  will  note  the  denial 
thereon.  Thereafter,  unless  action  thereon  is  restricted  by 
law  to  the  Circuit  Justice  or  is  untimely  under  Rule  30.2,
