Miss. L. Cir. Ct. R. 2

As amended through March 21, 2024
Rule 2 - Motions, Hearings and Orders
(a) Motions must be filed with the circuit court clerk, with a copy to the Court, pursuant to UCCCR 4.03. Responses shall be filed in the same manner. The Court will consider the motion even absent a timely filed response to a filed motion.
(b) At the Court's discretion and/or upon agreement of all parties, a motion hearing may be canceled, postponed, or removed from the Court's motion hearing docket. Conflicts regarding a hearing date must be directed to the court administrator at least two (2) business days after receiving notice of the hearing date. Failure to appear or to follow this procedure may subject the offending party to appropriate sanctions.
(c) Telephonic hearings are reserved for urgent, expedited, or other emergency matters. Parties seeking such telephonic hearing must request the same by contacting the court administrator, by telephone, mail, or email, specifically stating the nature of the matter.
(d) Each circuit judge maintains his/her own hearing schedule. Hearings are not automatically granted and are set at the discretion of each circuit judge. A party may not notice a hearing date to other parties until a date has been confirmed by the court administrator. Once a motion is set and noticed by the movant, no other motion shall be noticed by any other party to the action, without prior approval of the Court.
(e) A movant must make a written request to the Court for a court reporter's presence at any civil hearing, other than trial, at least two (2) business days prior to a scheduled hearing.
(f) Any proposed orders, judgments, opinions, findings of fact, and/or conclusions of law, requested by the court, must be submitted to the Court, and not to the circuit clerk, in both printed and electronic form, with copies to all parties of record.
(g) Orders and Judgments must be presented directly to the Court, and not to the circuit clerk, in accordance with URCCC 1.11.
