Order to shorten time procedure

September 21, 2022

Order to shorten time procedure

The Clallam County Superior Court has issued guidelines for the procedure to shorten the notice time required for motions.

The following is the process for obtaining an order shortening the time for proper notice on either a civil or a criminal matter.

  1. If the parties agree to an order shortening time, that order signed by both parties can be presented to the Court Administrator and the order will be reviewed in chambers.
  2. If the parties do not agree, the following process is required:
    a. The party seeking the order should notify the other party of an intent to appear on the ex parte calendar (civil or criminal) to ask for an order shortening time.
    b. On the ex parte calendar, the following documents are needed:
    i. The substantive motion which will ultimately be at issue, including any declarations which support that motion.
    ii. A motion to shorten the notice requirements to hear the substantive motion, and a declaration explaining the request. The declaration must describe what efforts were made to notify the other party of the intent to appear on the ex parte calendar seeking the order shortening time.
    iii. An order shortening time with a blank line for the court to set a time when the hearing on the substantive motion will occur. This order should also have additional space for the court to write in any other provisions which are
    necessary.

The procedural notice was sent by the Superior Court via Clerk Kaysey Clayton on September 21, 2022 to the Clallam County Bar lawyer’s listserv.
