Miss. L. Coun. Ct. R. 8
All motions shall be in writing unless made during a hearing or trial and the original of each motion, and all affidavits and other supporting documents shall be filed with the clerk. The moving party at the same time shall mail or hand deliver a copy thereof to the opposing attorney, or party if not represented, and the Judge at her office in the Lowndes County Courthouse. Any and all responses shall be filed within ten (10) days after receipt of the original motion and copies shall be furnished to the Judge and opposing attorney, or party if not represented. The filing of memorandum of authorities is discretionary with the parties, but if done it must accompany the motion and response. Such memorandum shall be limited to ten (10) pages, unless waived by the Court. Copies of said memorandum shall also be forwarded to the Judge and opposing attorney, or party if not represented.
All motions in which a hearing is requested shall be noticed for hearing "as soon as counsel can be heard" but no date certain shall be set by the moving party.
All nondispositive motions shall be decided by the Court without a hearing or oral argument unless otherwise ordered by the Court on its own motion, or, in its discretion, upon written request made by counsel in an easily discernable manner on the face of the motion or response.
All dispositive motions shall be decided by the Court only after a hearing unless all parties file a written waiver of said hearing.
The scheduling of an evidentiary hearing or oral argument, where allowed, shall be set at such time and place as may suit the convenience of the Judge. The Court may, in its discretion, hear oral argument by telephone conference.
