Preargument Matters; Applications, Motions and Petitions

The Prothonotary shall promptly, after filing, submit preargument applications, motions and petitions requiring consideration by a Judge to the Chief Legal Counsel. The Chief Legal Counsel shall daily confer with the President Judge or the Duty Judge on such matters, who shall act by order granting or denying the relief or remedy sought, directing the matter to be decided on submitted briefs, or listing the matter for argument before, or in conjunction with, argument on the merits of the appeal. Applications for extensions of time and/or continuances shall be acted upon as soon as practicable unless the Judge determines an answer is necessary, in which case the Court may order an expedited answer.
