Court Motion Signature Requirements

Summary

Court orders requiring signatures must be followed strictly by all parties. If a motion is denied due to procedural errors, similar motions should receive consistent treatment. If procedural errors are overlooked for one party, it may be grounds for appeal or further action. Filing a motion to reconsider generally has strict deadlines, which you mentioned were exceeded in your case. Consider seeking free legal aid services in wisconsin for guidance.

On October *, *, the Court issued an order stating: “All further Motions filed shall contain the actual signature of the moving party on the affidavit in support of the Motion or no hearing would be scheduled.” On October *, *, Respondent, through counsel, filed a “Motion for and Notice of New (De Novo) Hearing.” The motion included an affidavit signed only by Respondent’s attorney, not by the moving party, Respondent Alexander Rodden, as required by the Court’s October * order. I also filed a De Novo, but my attorney failed to get a wet signature (which was also included in the de novo) and my motion was denied, yet with a similar procedural error, Rodden's motion was heard. I then requested a Motion to Reconsider/Vacate as Rodden's motion was heard despite the procedural error and mine was not. The courts then denied my motion to reconsider due to being over * calendar days past the initial hearing October *.
It seems like there may be an inconsistency in how the court handled the motions. Here are some points to consider:
- Court orders requiring signatures must be followed strictly by all parties.
- If a motion is denied due to procedural errors, similar motions should receive consistent treatment.
- If procedural errors are overlooked for one party, it may be grounds for appeal or further action.
- Filing a Motion to Reconsider generally has strict deadlines, which you mentioned were exceeded in your case.
