Legal Question in Civil Litigation in District of Columbia
Question about local rules
The Local Rules for the District Court of the District of Columbia state that the time to file a response to a motion is 11 days and the time to file a reply is 5 days. The practice seems to be that a party has 14 days to file a response, however. Is there any place this is stated, is it common practice, or am I incorrect and the correct time is 11 days?

Re: Question about local rules
The Federal Rules provide that the party responding has 3 extra days if served by mail or electronic service. That's 14 days. If service is by hand delivery, there's no extra time.
