4. Confirm your court date

You must tell the court that you will be at your motion date and that you’re ready to go ahead.

You do this by filling out a Form 14C: Confirmation form. Write down the amount of time you think you’ll need, the specific issues that will be discussed, and the documents the judge should read.

You can fax the form or take it to the courthouse in person.

Do this no later than 2:00 p.m. at least two days before your motion date. If you miss this deadline, the court may not hear your motion.
