Requests for Substantive Relief without Notice. True ex parte relief (that is, a request for relief without notice to the opposing party) is rarely appropriate unless authorized by statute.

Upon filing a motion for true ex parte relief, the proponent must immediately contact chambers and request a hearing. Chambers staff will inform the proponent of any additional procedures applicable to the party's request.
