LR3-111 NMRA
Local Rule LR3-111. Hearings and scheduling conflicts.
A. Requests for hearing. All requests for hearing shall be filed with the clerk and
submitted to the assigned judge using Form 4-110 NMRA. Counsel and pro se litigants
requesting a hearing shall provide pre-addressed, stamped envelopes for any party
entitled to notice who does not have a box at the courthouse. Attorneys who have a box
at the courthouse will receive notices of hearing in their assigned court boxes.
B. Vacating hearings. Hearings will not be vacated ex parte or by agreement of
counsel and parties, but only by the court.
C. Motions to continue or vacate hearings due to scheduling conflicts. Motions
to vacate hearings due to conflicts with other courts shall be governed by the rule that
the case first scheduled for that date will have priority, unless otherwise directed by the
court. Any party or counsel filing a request to vacate a hearing due to a scheduling
conflict will attach to the request a copy of the other court’s prior notice of hearing and
serve a copy of the request on opposing pro se parties or counsel.
D. Re-setting. If the court grants a continuance, the parties shall file another
request for hearing within five (5) business days and advise the court of their non-
availability dates.
