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.
The motion must be supported by evidence. The motion must include a separate "Notice of Motion" which includes a brief summary of the nature of the motion, the deadline for filing a response, and if there is a hearing, the date, time, and location of the hearing.
If a party fails to respond to an opponent's argument, the Court will find that the argument is waived for the purpose of the pending motion (but not for the purpose of future motions). Furthermore, perfunctory and undeveloped arguments are waived.
A Motion has three required parts, and an optional fourth: Notice of Motion and Motion (date, time, and location of hearing, and a brief statement of the request); Memorandum of Points and Authorities (legal argument); Declaration(s) (evidence); and. Proposed Order (usually optional, but recommended.)
