N.C. R. Prac. Super. & Dist. Ct. 3.0

As amended through June 18, 2024

Rule 3.0 - CALENDARING OF MOTIONS

3.1 The CC shall calendar motions for hearing.

3.2 Unless the Court calendars the matter on its own, all motions filed with the Court must be accompanied by a Calendar Request that shall be filed with the Clerk._(APPENDIXC). No case shall be placed on a calendar unless that Calendar Request has been served on all parties. All Calendar Requests shall be submitted to the CC via email. Counsel and/or any unrepresented party shall file a written "Notice of Hearing" (NOH) with the Clerk in compliance with the minimum statutory requirements provided in the North Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure. In order to appear on the published calendar, a file stamped Calendar Request must be received by the CC at least 10 days prior to the requested session. Motion requests received within 10 days of the requested session will be added to the motions calendar at the CC's discretion if all counsel and/or any unrepresented party waive the minimum statutory notice requirement provided in the North Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure. Failure to provide the CC a copy of the Calendar Request may result in the case not being calendared. If a Calendar Request is not filed and submitted to the CC, then the CC shall schedule the matter for the next available administrative session.

3.3 The NOH and Calendar Request shall specify the name and address of all counsel and/or any unrepresented party. A copy of the NOH shall be served upon all opposing counsel and/or any unrepresented party and shall serve as due notice.

3.4 Approximately one week prior to the session, duly noticed motions shall appear on a printed calendar, distributed to counsel by posting on the web at www.nccourts.org. (See directions, RULE 2.2). Distribution to any served, but unrepresented party, shall be by US mail.

3.5 In order to remove a motion before the session begins, the moving party must notify the CC, in writing via email, but only after obtaining the consent of all counsel and/or any unrepresented party.

3.6Failure to duly calendar a motion under these rules shall not be used as a basis for a continuance from a future trial calendar.
