RULE 9.12

RULE 9.12 OBJECTIONS TO MAGISTRATE’S DECISION OR ORDER

1.) The filing of timely written objections by any party to an action shall act as an automatic stay of the decision until the Court takes further action as delineated in Civil Rule 53.

2.) Interim orders are not subject to the automatic stay and shall remain in effect regardless of the filing of objections.

3.) Objections shall be in the form of a pleading with appropriate case caption and case number. Objections shall be typed.

4.) Objections must be specific and state with particularity the grounds of the objection.

5.) Any objection to a finding of fact shall be supported by a transcript of the evidence.

6.) Request for a transcript must be filed at least fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled hearing on objections. No objection hearing shall be continued because a request for transcript was not timely filed. Once the fifteen-day time limit has passed, a transcript may only be prepared by leave of court.
