(b) When a motion that has been designated to be heard in chambers is filed, the civil division clerk must complete the notice of motion section with the time/date set for decision. The clerk must additionally stamp the location of the hearing as being in "chambers - without oral argument." Calendaring clerks must prepare the relevant files and deliver them to the judges with a docket and a unique mark-up sheet at least 3 days before a motion is set for decision, unless a particular judicial department orders otherwise.(c) If the time to oppose a motion has passed and no opposition has been filed, counsel for the moving party may submit to the clerk's office a proposed order granting the motion. The judge may then review the proposed order and may render a decision or abstain from ruling on the motion until a hearing has been conducted. Dispositive motions must be set for hearing.(d) If, after reviewing the motion that has been designated to be heard in chambers, a judge chooses to set the matter for oral argument, the judicial executive assistant or courtroom clerk for that judge may generate notices of hearing from the case management system, or, in the alternative, such cases may be returned to the civil division's calendaring clerk to be set for hearing.Nev.
