Failure to timely file a certificate of service in compliance with this rule may result in denial of the related motion, or removal of the motion from the court's hearing calendar. The proof must show the date of service, the name of the person served, and the manner of service.

Proof of service is deemed sufficient if it complies with the court’s certificate of service form, which is available on the court’s website. Failure to file the proof of service required by this rule does not affect the validity of service. Unless material prejudice would result, the court may at any time allow the proof of service to be amended or supplied.
