Huntington County Courts, Indiana Pre-Motion Conference Requirements

For a motion requiring a hearing, the moving party must consult opposing counsel before setting it on the Court calendar; a motion not set on the calendar will be summarily denied.

All motions requiring a hearing before the Court shall be set on the Court calendar by the moving party after first consulting with opposing Counsel. Any motion requiring a hearing before the Court which is not set for hearing on the Court calendar by the moving party shall be summarily denied.

Before the Court will rule on a motion for discovery and production under Indiana Trial Rules 27–37, moving counsel must personally consult and sincerely attempt to resolve the dispute and advise the Court in writing that no accord was reached.

To curtail undue delay in the administration of justice, the Court shall refuse to rule on any motion for discovery and production of documents under Trial Rule 27 through Trial Rule 37 of the Indiana Rules of Civil Procedure unless the moving counsel shall first advise the Court, in writing, that after personal consultation and sincere attempts to resolve differences, an accord cannot be reached.
