Appearance
Wait 45 days after noting date before inquiring about motion status; contact Victoria Ericksen.
The local civil rules provide that when 45 or more days have elapsed since the noting date of a motion, the parties are encouraged to contact the Court to inquire as to the status of the motion. The Court makes every effort to rule on motions within 30 days of the noting date. Counsel are asked to not inquire regarding the status of a motion until at least 45 days beyond the noting date. Once that time period has elapsed, the parties may contact the Court’s deputy clerk, Victoria Ericksen, at victoria_ericksen@wawd.uscourts.gov to inquire.
