Van Wert Municipal Court, Ohio Pre-Motion Conference Requirements

CRITICAL

Opposing counsel must answer motions within 14 days; motions are then submitted unless the Court extends the time, and an oral hearing requires a written request and the Court’s determination that it is necessary.

Opposing counsel shall answer in like manner within fourteen (14) days thereafter. All motions will be considered submitted at the end of said fourteen (14) day period unless time is extended by the Court. There will be no oral hearing granted in said motions unless the parties request an oral hearing in writing and the court deems it necessary.

WARNING

A motion is submitted on written briefs unless an oral hearing is requested; the request must be written, and opposing counsel must submit it within 7 days after receiving the motion, with notice of the request previously given to opposing counsel.

In the absence of a request to the Court for an oral hearing, notice of which request shall have been previously given to opposing counsel, a motion shall be deemed submitted on written briefs unless the opposing counsel requests in writing an oral hearing, which request shall be submitted within seven (7) days of receiving the motion.
