Accordingly, Counsel need not set ex parte applications for a hearing date. The other parties’ opposition, or notice of non-opposition (which notice may be provided telephonically to the Courtroom Deputy Clerk), to an ex parte application is due 24 hours after the other parties’ receipt of the ex parte application.

People Without Lawyers. People who are not represented by attorneys may now
submit documents for filing through the Court's Electronic Document Submission
System ("EDSS") instead of mailing or bringing documents to the
Clerk's Office. EDSS is not the same as filing documents electronically in the
Court's CM/ECF System. Registration is not required to use EDSS and you do not
need a PACER account; only internet access and an e-mail address are required.
Attorneys may not use EDSS to submit documents on behalf of their clients. To
access EDSS and for additional information, visit the Court's website at
