2. Petitioner will have thirty days to file an opposition or a reply, as appropriate;
3. If a motion was filed and petitioner has filed an opposition, respondent will have fifteen days thereafter to file a reply; and
4. Any future request filed by counsel must fully comply with Local Rule 5-137(b).
