Rule text
Each court may establish regular times and places, at intervals sufficiently frequent for the prompt dispatch of business, at which motions requiring notice and hearing may be heard and disposed of; but the judge at any time or place and on such notice, if any, as he considers reasonable may make orders for the advancement, conduct, and hearing of actions. To expedite its business, the court may make provision by rule or order for the submission and determination of motions without oral hearing, upon brief written statements of reasons in support and opposition. Trial courts may also provide by local rule for notices to set motions for hearing or for calling upon motions for hearing without prior setting.
