A motion hearing is a proceeding in a legal context where one party requests the court to take a specific action or make a decision on a particular issue. It is an opportunity for the parties involved to present arguments and evidence to support their positions before the court.
This court rule is essential because if the judge grants the motion for summary judgment, the court makes decisions about the facts of the case at trial. It produces a resolution without oral arguments. If the court denies the motion, the judge or jury resolves the factual dispute.
A motion is a written request made to the court, asking the judge to issue an order. The motion must be supported by evidence.
At or after the hearing, the judge will make a decision on your motion. The judge might write an order on your motion herself. Or she might direct one of the parties to prepare the order for her signature.
A motion is an application to the court made by the prosecutor or defense attorney, requesting that the court make a decision on a certain issue before the trial begins. The motion can affect the trial, courtroom, defendants, evidence, or testimony. Only judges decide the outcome of motions.

Motions: 16 court days before hearing (+5 calendar days for mailing). If the mailing deadline (16+5 days) has passed, but there are still more than 16 court days before the hearing, you can have it served by personal delivery.
Pleadings do not ask the judge to make decisions. Motions, on the other hand, ask judges to make decisions. Motions are mostly written but can be oral requests that can be presented only after the complaint has been filed.
The outcome of the motion hearing The judge's decision is issued in the form of an order, which grants or denies the motion. This order becomes an official part of the court record and dictates the next steps in the litigation process.
When you file your motion, the court clerk will insert the date, time, and place of the hearing on your motion. You must then “serve” (mail) a copy of your filed motion (including all exhibits and the date, time, and place of hearing) to all other parties in the case.
