Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Rule 5:7-6(a)

What does this rule mean? There is a probation hearing scheduled and my ex has just filed a notice of motion with this rule referenced in one of his items. I think it means that he does not have to appear at the probation hearing since the Superior court is now going to process his motion.

Thank you for your response.
