The notice of motion should always be filed at the time the motion is filed.  If you omit it from the motion PDF file, the Notice of Motion should be filed as a separate filing.

During the filing process you will be prompted to;

• Relate the notice of motion to the appropriate motion

It is not necessary to re-file the motion. Relating the Notice of Motion to the original Notice of Motion and Motion will give the judge access to the motion.

• Always insert hearing date, time and location. Omitting this information will cause the motion not to appear on the Judge's call.

Note: If you already filed a Notice of Motion and are changing some information on the notice, do NOT use this event. Select the Amended Notice of Motion/Hearing event.
