Counsel are reminded ex parte applications are solely for extraordinary relief. See Mission Power Engineering Co. v. Continental Casualty Co., 883 F. Supp. 488 (C.D. Cal. 1995). Applications which fail to conform with Local Rules 7-19 and 7-19.1, including a statement of opposing counsel's position, will not be considered. Any opposition must be filed not later than 24 hours after service. If counsel do not intend to oppose the ex parte application, counsel must inform the court clerk by telephone. The Court considers ex parte applications on the papers and usually does not set these matters for hearing. The Courtroom Deputy Clerk will notify counsel of the Court's ruling or a hearing date and time, if the Court determines a hearing is necessary. Absent leave of Court, the Court will not consider reply papers in support of an ex parte application.
