Your Response to the Order to Show Cause must show a good reason (“cause”) for not following the Court's rules, directions, or deadlines. You must also do anything else the Court tells you to do in the Order to Show Cause.
In most U.S. jurisdictions, a writ of mandamus or other similar appeal is how a party may compel a court to rule on a pending motion.
Similar variation across courts was seen in motions to dismiss and motions for summary judgment. Across all cases, the mean time to rule on Rule 12 motions was almost 130 days, but when broken down by district the mean time varied from 63 days in the fastest court to 176 days in the slowest court.
The decision of the court shall be rendered within sixty days after the cause or matter is finally submitted or within sixty days after a motion under rule 4403, whichever is later, unless the parties agree to extend the time.
Sometimes, the Judge makes a decision right away. If not, the Judge has 60 days by law to decide the motion.
You must fill out the Order to Show Cause along with an Affidavit in Support. If there is not already a pending or active case in court, you most likely will have to include a separate petition to start a case.
Returnable to Assigned Judge All motions must be made returnable to the judge assigned to the case and all papers related to the motion must be filed on or before the return date.
Under CPLR 2214(b), a notice of motion must be served at least eight days in advance of the motion date. Five additional days are added when service by mail is used. Responding papers are due two days before the motion date.
Copies of the notice of motion and supporting papers must be served on all parties at least eight days before the time at which the motion is noticed to be heard by the court. Add an additional 5 days if the motion is served by mail.
If you want to file a motion, the process is generally something like this: You write your motion. You file your motion with the court clerk. The court clerk inserts the date and time your motion will be heard by the judge. You “serve” (mail) your motion to the other side.
