Individual Practices for Judge Gardephe, Revised
E-Filing Order in Delaware Chancery Court & U.S. Courts Update
Please be advised the
individual practices for Judge Gardephe have been
updated. We have highlighted a few items from his practice rules which we
feel you should pay particular attention to.
Communication with Chambers
Letters
to the Court should not be electronically filed and are not automatically
docketed. If a party wishes to preserve such letters for the record on
appeal, a written request must be submitted to the Court within ten days of
closure of the case.
Request for Adjournment of
Court Appearances
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 two business days prior to the scheduled appearance.
Filing of Motion Papers (“Bundling
Rule”)
In
all ECF cases, the moving party shall electronically file motion and reply
papers with the Clerk only when the entire motion has been briefed. The
responding party shall electronically file opposition papers only when
noticed by the moving party that reply papers are being filed. Parties
shall send two courtesy copies of any submission to Chambers at the time of
service on the opposing party.
Failure of the Court to Schedule
Argument or Decide a Motion
If a motion is not
decided within 60 days of the time it is fully submitted or of argument,
counsel for the movant shall submit a letter to
call this fact to the Court’s attention.
