Motions Practice

(a) STATEMENT OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES. Each motion must include or be accompanied by a statement of the specific points and authorities that support the motion, including where appropriate a concise statement of facts. If a table of cases is provided, counsel must place asterisks in the margin to the left of those cases or authorities on which counsel chiefly relies. (b) OPPOSING POINTS AND AUTHORITIES. Within 14 days after service of the motion or at such other time as the court may direct, an opposing party must file and serve a statement of opposing points and authorities in opposition to the motion. If a statement of opposing points and authorities is not filed within the prescribed time, the court may treat the motion as conceded. (c) PROPOSED ORDER. Each motion and opposition must be accompanied by a proposed order. COMMENT TO 2017 AMENDMENTS This rule is new to the Superior Court Rules of Criminal Procedure. It includes provisions previously found in Rule 47, including the requirement for stating authorities and the time for filing an opposition. The statement of points and authorities may be included as part of the motion; there is no requirement that it be a separate document. This rule also imposes the additional requirement of a proposed order.
