N.C. R. Prac. Super. & Dist. Ct. 6
As amended through April 29, 2024
An attorney scheduling a hearing on a motion must make a good-faith effort to request a date for the hearing on which each interested party is available. This requirement does not apply if a motion is properly made ex parte. An attorney's failure to comply with this requirement is an adequate ground on which the court may grant a continuance.
