F. Requests for Adjournments of Court Appearances (including telephone conferences). A request for an adjournment of a court appearance shall be made as soon as a party is aware of the need for the adjournment and, in any event, no later than five business days prior to the scheduled appearance (absent unforeseen circumstances). Prior to making such a request, the party intending to make the request should contact the Deputy Clerk ((212) 805- 4260), to determine an alternative date for which the Court is available for a rescheduled court appearance. The requesting party should next contact all other parties to determine their availability for that date. The requesting party must then file a letter to the Court on ECF seeking the adjournment, stating the date and time that is being requested. The letter must include a statement as to the other parties’ positions on the change in date. The appearance is not adjourned unless the parties are thereafter informed by the Court that the written application has been granted. Source ↗
C. Courtesy Copies of Motion Papers. A party must send to Chambers (by postal mail or other delivery to 40 Foley Square) one courtesy copy of each memorandum of law the party files, marked as such, at the same time as it is filed. Source ↗

F. Oral Argument on Motions. Judge Gorenstein normally does not hear oral argument on motions. A party may request oral argument by letter. If the Court determines that argument will be heard, it will so advise the parties. (A request for oral argument is more likely to be granted if a party identifies a lawyer to argue the motion who has been admitted within the previous five years and references this paragraph in the letter request.)
