Proposed judgments must be lodged and served on other parties, and the record must show service before the Court will enter judgment; do not submit the proposed judgment through e-Filing with a fee application.

Proposed forms of judgment need to be lodged and served on other parties pursuant to Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure 5.1(d) and 58. The Court will not enter a proposed form of judgment that is submitted through e-Filing with an Application for Attorneys' Fees, because the docket does not show that the form of judgment was served on the other parties. The record must show service before the Court will enter the proposed judgment.

For covered discovery disputes, requests to compel action, or anticipated sanctions, counsel must personally confer in good faith; if unresolved, the parties must file a joint dispute statement and provide it to the Judicial Assistant.

The Court generally follows Civil Rule 26(d). The Court's dispute resolution procedures outlined below shall apply to the following circumstances: (1) the parties have a discovery dispute that needs to be addressed; (2) one party seeks to compel another party to take some action; or (3) a party intends to seek sanctions against another party. Under any of these circumstances, counsel must personally speak to each other and engage in good faith attempts to resolve the dispute. If they cannot do so, the parties must file a "joint statement of discovery or disclosure dispute" and provide a copy to the Division's Judicial Assistant.

Advise the Court of stipulated short response or reply extensions; request longer extensions affecting other deadlines by motion, which may be joint or stipulated if agreed.

If the parties stipulate to a short extension for filing a response or reply, please advise the Court so we do not prematurely rule on the motion. For longer extensions that impact other deadlines in the case, please file a motion for extension. If the parties agree on the longer extension, the parties can file a joint motion or stipulation.
