8.073 SHOW CAUSE ORDERS - OTHER THAN CONTEMPT OF COURT
(1) Motions for Show Cause Orders (other than for contempt of court) must separately
state each item of relief requested by the moving party. Such orders may not state the
requested relief by reference to a supporting affidavit.
(2) Unless otherwise specifically required by statute or ORCP or specifically directed by the
court, Show Cause Orders shall not require the personal appearance of the opposing
party and shall not set a time certain for response by the opposing party.  Instead, such
orders shall require the opposing party to file an Answer (See Appendix 1) in writing
within thirty (30) days from the date of personal service of the order upon the opposing
party, or first publication, if served by publication, or, within thirty-three (33) days from
the date of the mailing or transmitting of the order if served by mail, email, facsimile
communication, or electronic service which mailing or transmitting date shall be stated
in or endorsed upon the order, whichever the case may be.
(3) In the event the opposing party fails to file a written response to a show cause order
within thirty (30) or thirty-three (33) days from the date of service as provided in
subsection (2), above, then at any time thereafter and while the opposing party remains
in default, the moving party may present an ex parte order granting the relief sought by
the moving party. The moving party must file the return of service of the show cause
order with the court, either separately or presented with the proposed ex parte order.
Upon presentation of the proposed ex parte order, the court, in its discretion, may
either allow the requested relief ex parte or it may direct that a hearing be scheduled
for the presentation of a prima facie case in support of the relief sought by the moving
party.
