[Related Statewide Rules 1-007, 1-007.1, and 5-120 NMRA] A. In civil and criminal cases. (1) Motions that do not state with particularity the grounds for the requested order may be summarily denied by the court. (2) Parties who choose to file a brief in support of an opposed motion shall file the brief separately and apart from the motion itself. (3) A courtesy copy of a supporting brief, response, or reply should not be furnished to the judge unless requested by the judge. (4) Briefed motions will be decided on the basis of briefs alone unless a party’s request for hearing has been granted by the court. (5) Time limits set forth in Rule 1-007.1 NMRA and Rule 5-120 NMRA shall be observed. If no response or reply is to be filed, the parties should advise the court. (6) Proposed orders accompanying unopposed motions: In complying with Rules 1-007.1(B) and 5-120(C) NMRA, the opposing party’s approval on the order shall indicate the date and means of approval, whether by telephone, email, or otherwise. B. In criminal cases. (1) In addition to the requirements of Rule 5-120 NMRA, each motion shall indicate on its face whether the motion is opposed or unopposed. (2) Proposed orders in opposed motions may be submitted but shall indicate that the order was not approved by opposing counsel because the motion is opposed or because of other applicable reasons from Rule 5-120 NMRA. (3) Motions for work search furloughs: In addition to the requirements of this rule, the motion shall be styled as a numbered motion (first, second, and so on) depending on the number of previous motions for work search furloughs that have been filed, regardless of whether a previous motion was or was not granted. Any motion subsequent to a first motion for work search furlough must inform the court about the results of all work search furloughs previously granted. At a minimum, the motion should indicate the employers that were contacted while on furlough previously and the result of the contact. (4) The requirements of Subparagraph 3 above apply to all motions for furlough with respect to other ongoing needs.
