Rule 8.055 - SHOW CAUSE ORDERS(1) All motions for show cause orders, other than for contempt of court, must separately state each item of relief requested by the moving party. Such orders may not state the requested relief by reference to a supporting affidavit.(2) All show cause orders, other than contempt of court, and except as provided in subsection (4) herein, shall require the opposing party to respond by filing an answer in writing to the order within fourteen (14) days from the date of the service of the order upon the opposing party. The motion for the show cause order must be served upon the opposing party along with the order, and the order must contain or have attached to it a notice which is in substantial conformity with the specimen notice set forth in Appendix 2 to these rules.(3) In the event the opposing party fails to file a written appearance in response to a show cause order within fourteen (14) days from the date of service of the order upon the opposing party, then at any time thereafter and while the opposing party remains in default for want of such written appearance, the moving party may present ex parte an order granting the relief sought by the moving party, provided the return of service of the show cause order has been filed of record or is presented with the proposed ex parte order. Upon presentation of the proposed ex parte order, the court, in its discretion, may allow the requested relief ex parte or it may direct that a hearing be scheduled for the presentation of a prima facie case in support of the relief sought by the moving party.(4) Notwithstanding (2) and (3) above, the party served with a show cause order seeking to modify an existing judgment shall be given 30 days to file a written response with the court. In addition, no party shall be required to respond before the time required by law to respond to the summons in the case.Yamhill Supp. L. R. 8.055
