Summary: This amended rule imposes limits on filing motions to strike. Impact: Court docketing procedures for motions need to account for notices for extensions that parties file under this new rule.

This new rule does not apply to motion practice under Rule 56, which sets forth its own procedure for time extensions under Rule 56(c)(1).

The extension is effective upon filing, unless the court disapproves of the change

Otherwise, no order is necessary to obtain an extension under this subsection.

If a notice of extension provides that a filing is due less than five days before a hearing, or if a notice is filed after the memorandum is due, the extension will not be effective without court approval.

The notice must state in its title the number of extensions agreed to concerning that filing (e.g., First Extension of Time To File Response on Motion To Dismiss).

A notice of the extension with the parties’ agreement must be filed with the court, containing the dates when briefs will be due.

Summary: New Rule 7.1(g) establishes a procedure for obtaining extensions of time to file response or reply memoranda on motions. This permits the amending party to file an amended pleading before service of a response to the initial pleading. The new provision allows a party to amend a pleading “ no later than” 21 days after service of a responsive pleading. The rule formerly allowed an amendment “ within” 21 days after service of a responsive pleading, which appeared to require the amending party to wait until after service of a responsive pleading before filing the amendment. Summary: This amendment corrects an “ unintended consequence” of a prior amendment regarding when a party may amend a pleading as a matter of course. If counsel is moving for withdrawal without consent and the client files an objection within ten days after service of the motion, the court must hold a hearing to determine whether the attorney completed the representation. The attorney may withdraw with the consent of the client, or without consent.

Impact: The attorney may withdraw when the attorney has completed the representation as specified in the notice. The Court has now adopted these rule changes permanently.
