Motion Dockets

Motions are heard on Fridays beginning at 9:00 a.m., with the exception of Part III, which begins at 9:30 a.m. A date setting the Motion must be included with the document when filed or it will not be heard. The Clerk & Master’s office does not set this for you. All Motions must be set at least 14 days from the date the document is filed with the exception of Motions for Summary Judgment (which must be set at least 37 days out from the date filed).

Calendar pages showing available dates for Motions are included on this page. Please consult each calendar and read the applicable notes for that date. If there is no comment on the date for the applicable Part, that date may be selected and placed on the Motion hearing notice. The Friday docket is posted to this website on Tuesday afternoon of that week. Any changes made after that time will not be reflected on the website. Please contact the office if you have problems accessing that calendar or if you have any comments or questions about it.

Please direct general scheduling questions about Motions to the Motions Deputy Clerk Ellie Valdez at (615) 862-5688. Specific scheduling questions may also be directed to the calendar clerk for the assigned Part.

The indication of open docket dates on this page does not necessarily indicate the availability of a hearing date for Motions to Dismiss and Motions for Summary Judgment. Please contact the Motions clerk for the most up-to-date information to schedule those Motions.
