Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Missouri

Need a term defined

Please explain what a court clerk means when they say that ''It must be noticed up to get on the judge's docket''. I received papers that were also filed with the court where the other party is asking for more time to respond to discovery. Do I need to take any action? Will I be notified by someone (court clerk or other party) if the time extension is granted and when the new hearing date is scheduled? If I knew what this phrase meant for certain, I might have an idea what I am supposed to do and/or expect.

Thank you.

Re: Need a term defined

To "notice up" something means to serve on the court and the other party a notice that says:

"Please take notice that on the _______ day of ________, 2004, the undersigned will call up the defendants motion for more time to answer discovery."

In order to do that, you need to get a motion date. Motion days are usually law days, and the clerk can usually tell you when that is. If you don't notice it up, you can file a hundred motions and the judge won't do a thing on them.

Good luck
