EVIDENTIARY OBJECTIONS

Except for good cause shown, evidentiary objections to any declaration submitted in support or opposition of a motion or order to show cause, to which specific individual court rulings are requested, must be in writing and served and filed within the same time periods provided by Section 1005 of the Code of Civil Procedure, at least nine (9) court days before the hearing for objections to the moving declarations and at least five (5) court days before the hearing for objections to opposition declarations. Objections to any reply declaration shall be served and filed at least two (2) court days before the hearing. Each objection must be numbered and placed in an attached copy of the declaration after the sentence or phrase that is objected to along with the basis of the objection. Brackets must be placed around the sentence or phrase to which the objection is made. Subject to the Court's rulings on timely filed written objections, or cross-examination of the declarants if permitted by the Court, all declarations shall be considered received in evidence at the hearing. Failure to comply with the above requirements does not prohibit a party from arguing that reduced or no weight should be given any declaration or any statement contained therein.

Evidentiary objections to any declaration submitted in support of or opposition to a motion or order to show cause, oral or written, including objections on the grounds of inadmissible hearsay, conclusion and lack of foundation, for which specific individual rulings are not requested or not required may be considered by the court at any time prior to or during the hearing thereon.
