Key Traps — Where Counsel Gets Caught

1. - No proposed orders unless specifically requested or authorized.
2. - No courtesy copies required.
3. - Motions decided on papers; oral argument only if court schedules or grants request.
4. - LR 3.01(g) conferral required before filing any civil motion; failure to comply results in denial or striking of the motion.

Before the Hearing

Oral Argument

Oral Argument The court decides most, if not all, motions on the papers. The court holds oral arguments only if it grants a party's request or sets them sua sponte. Local Rule 3.01(g) Local Rule 3.01(g) requires a moving party to confer with opposing counsel in a good-faith effort to resolve an issue to be raised in a motion before filing it. The term "confer" in Local Rule 3.01(g) requires a substantive conversation. Exchanges of ultimatums by e-mail or by letter do not satisfy the good-faith conference requirement. Similarly, mere attempts to confer that do not result in a meaningful and productive exchange between counsel do not satisfy Local Rule 3.01(g). The court will deny motions that fail to include a Local Rule 3.01(g) certificate. [fl-md-dudek-oral_argument_procedure]

Background Rules

Chambers Contact

Contacting Chambers Counsel of record and pro se litigants may contact chambers about procedures specific to Judge Dudek, scheduling, and other non-substantive matters. Law clerks will not discuss the merits of any case ex parte. Nor will they give legal advice, interpret federal and local rules, explain court orders, or provide time estimates on orders. Before contacting chambers, counsel and pro se litigants must review this website, the docket, and the federal and local rules. When calling chambers, counsel and pro se litigants must provide (1) the case number, (2) their name and party they represent, (3) whether opposing counsel has been consulted, and (4) why they are contacting chambers. For emails, all parties must be copied. [fl-md-dudek-chambers_contact_restrictions]
