LR3-117 NMRA
Local Rule LR3-117. "Package" procedure.
[Related Statewide Rules 1-007.1, 1-100, and 5-120 NMRA]
At the expiration of all responsive times under Rules 1-007.1 and 5-120 NMRA, if a
party is seeking a hearing, the movant shall submit to the assigned judge a copy of a
request for hearing (after filing the request with the clerk of the court). The submission
of the request for hearing alerts the court that the motion is ripe for decision. Not less
than ten (10) days before a scheduled hearing on the motion, the moving party shall
submit a copy of the motion, any response, and any reply, as a complete package. The
package shall be submitted in electronic form to the judge’s proposed text email
address, in hard copy form, or in both, depending on the presiding judge’s preference.
Each judge’s delivery preference for the form of the package and delivery instructions
for the delivery of the physical package will be listed on the court’s website. Copies of
the package submission must be served on all parties and the service must be indicated
on the transmittal. Failure to comply with this rule may result in a hearing being
cancelled by the judge without further notice.
