The procedure following issuance of the Rule to Show Cause shall be in accordance with 206.7. The order required shall be substantially in the form outlined in 208.4(b) (2).

Thereafter, the Court may require the parties to submit briefs in support of their respective positions. Upon written request of a party, the Court may allow participation by telephone. Such request shall be made to the Court Administrator.(4) Upon receipt of a motion and scheduling order, the Court shall determine if Argument or an Evidentiary Hearing is necessary and issue the appropriate order.(5) If appropriate, the Court may enter an order without Argument or an Evidentiary Hearing, however, the Court shall not enter an order that grants relief to the moving party unless the motion is presented as uncontested or the other parties are given an opportunity for Argument or an Evidentiary Hearing.(6) The Court, in its discretion, may deny the moving party's request for relief without the opportunity for Argument or an Evidentiary Hearing where the motion is procedurally defective, is untimely filed or fails to set forth adequate grounds for relief.(7) The moving party shall serve a copy of the motion, any proposed order and any order scheduling Argument or an Evidentiary Hearing on opposing counsel and all unrepresented parties.Amended effective 5/5/2005.
