An attorney seeking to stop representing a party must file a motion to do so.

Motions must be filed with the circuit clerk by 3:30 p.m. at least five days before the Rule Day—Wednesday in Casey County and Thursday in Adair County—or they will not be heard as requested or docketed until a timely motion is made.

An attorney seeking to stop representing a party must give adequate notice to the client and opposing counsel.

Before filing a discovery, protective-order, or sanctions motion under CR 26 or CR 37, counsel must make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute between themselves and be unable to do so.

A courtesy copy must be sent to the Judge's office for motions scheduled through Judge Vance's Office.

The response deadline may be extended on an oral or written motion showing good cause, including the motion’s length and complexity; a late response may be grounds to grant the motion.
