Any party which objects to a motion shall file its reasoned objection within the ten (10) days following the service of the motion upon such party. Said objection shall be accompanied by any document or affidavit necessary for its determination. If no objection is filed within said term of ten (10) days, the motion shall be considered submitted, unless prior to the expiration of said ten (10) days the opposing party requests an extension of said term and the court grants it.
Every motion shall be considered submitted for determination, without a hearing, unless the court, motu proprio, or at the request of a party, decides at its discretion to set it for hearing. This rule shall not be applicable to those motions which by provision of law require the holding of a hearing.
