Motions in Civil Actions

General Rules of Practice for the Superior and District Courts

Rule: 6

Jurisdiction: NC

Bluebook Citation: N.C. Gen. R. Pract. 6

An attorney scheduling a hearing on a motion must make a good-faith effort to request a date for the hearing on which each interested party is available. This requirement does not apply if a motion is properly made ex parte. An attorney’s failure to comply with this requirement is an adequate ground on which the court may grant a continuance.
