Provided the matter has been marked "READY," argument will be heard on the day scheduled for short calendar on the following motions: "As of Right" motions listed in P.B. §11-18 including Motions for Judgment of Foreclosure, Deficiency Judgments, Motions to Approve Committee Sale, Deed, Report, Expenses and Fees, Motions to Open Judgment, Motions for Protection from Foreclosure, and Motions for Judgment on the Mortgage Note.

It shall be at the Court's discretion to accept a "TAKE PAPERS" marking on an "As of Right" motion; those matters for which argument is deemed unnecessary will be taken on the papers while those motions for which argument is required by the Court will be scheduled for a hearing at a later date. The clerk will notify the parties of the hearing date by mail.

Any "Not As of Right" motion which has printed with an "As of Right" motion may be marked "TAKE PAPERS" or, if oral argument is requested pursuant to P.B. §11-18, it may be marked "READY." If the "Not as of Right" motion is marked "READY" in conjunction with the "As of Right" motion, the Court will hear the matter on the day scheduled for short calendar. If only the "Not As of Right" motion has been marked "READY," the judge will determine whether oral argument is necessary. If oral argument is necessary, a hearing will be scheduled and the clerk will notify the parties of the hearing date by mail. Those matters for which argument is deemed unnecessary will be decided on the papers.
