Rule 30 . Ex parte motions and orders. A proposed order shall accompany all ex parte applications and motions that reference exclusively procedural matters and not the substantive merit of a matter. No proposed ex parte order shall be presented to a judge for signing before the case has been filed with the filing office, given a case number, and assigned to a department.

A party in a criminal proceeding may submit an ex parte application to place a matter on calendar for issues that do not pertain to the merits of the criminal prosecution. The court will provide notice of the hearing to the opposing party. Unless otherwise permitted by statute or court rule, in both criminal and civil cases, a party may not submit an ex parte motion or application without providing notice to the opposing party.
