N.C. R. Prac. Super. & Dist. Ct. 6

As amended through June 18, 2024
Rule 6 - MOTION CALENDARS
6.1 Regular Motion Calendar

The Court Manager shall publish and distribute, by posting on the Internet, a regular motion calendar of motions and non-jury matters to be heard at each trial session. It may contain any motions or non-jury matters the court records show are pending at the time the calendar is prepared, as well as others calendared by request. This regular motion calendar shall not contain more non-jury matters than can reasonably be expected to be heard in the time designated by the Senior Resident Superior Court Judge for the hearing of such matters. Calendar requests for the regular Superior Court motion calendar must be made in writing to the Office of the Senior Resident Superior Court Judge prior to the publication of the calendar by mailing said request to the Court Manager, Post Office Box 698, Albemarle, NC 28002-0698 or by e-mailing the request to stephanie.h.hinson@nccourts.org , and by delivering a copy to all attorneys of record and unrepresented parties.

6.2 Forms/Notice

All calendar requests for motions and non-jury matters shall be made on the form attached hereto, which shall be made available by the Clerk of Superior Court. All calendar requests made by the use of the said form shall constitute notice of hearing pursuant to Rule 7(b)(1) of the North Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure. Delivery of the calendar to attorneys of record or unrepresented parties by way of posting the calendar to the Internet shall constitute notice of hearing for motions calendared by the Senior Resident Superior Court Judge and/or the Court Manager on their own initiative.

6.3 Supplemental Motion Calendar

Any motion calendar request filed after the publication of the trial calendar for Superior Court should be filed with the Court Manager, who will place the motion on a supplemental motion calendar. Parties with motions on the supplemental motion calendar must give notice of hearing to all opposing parties as required by the Rules of Civil Procedure. The hearing of motions listed on the regular motion calendars shall take precedence over the hearing of motions listed on the supplemental motion calendar unless otherwise ordered by the Presiding Judge.
