A withdrawal request must be filed at least thirty days before a scheduled hearing or trial, unless the court determines that good cause supports an exception.

A motion for enlargement under this rule must be filed no later than the original due date.

Motion-briefing deadlines are computed under Rule 6 of the Indiana Rules of Trial Procedure.

An initial written motion under T.R.6(B)(1) to respond to a claim is automatically allowed an additional thirty days from the original due date without a written court order.

For an initial extension of up to thirty days to file a responsive pleading or respond to a written discovery request, the requesting party must contact opposing counsel and solicit agreement.

Once the stated initial-extension procedure is followed, no further court filing or court action is required for the extension.
