Multnomah Supp. L. R. 5.016
In all cases other than cases designated as complex cases, a motion for summary judgment will be assigned to be heard by an attorney appointed by the Supreme Court to serve as a judge pro tempore. Upon a timely request by any party, the court will reassign a summary judgment hearing to a sitting circuit court judge. To be timely, the party requesting reassignment must present a Motion and Order to Reschedule Summary Judgment Hearing in Front of a Sitting Judge (Forms 05-78A and 05-78B) to the Presiding Judge at ex parte within 5 judicial days of the initial assignment to a judge pro tempore. Any party requesting to reschedule a summary judgment hearing assigned to a judge pro tempore but not requesting reassignment to a sitting circuit court judge must present a Motion and Order to Reschedule Summary Judgment Hearing (Forms 05-44A and 05-44B) to the Presiding Judge at ex parte.
