   (b)(1)(a)  The Prothonotary shall prepare for call, on the first Monday of October of each year or on such other date as the Court by special order may direct, a list containing all civil matters in which no steps or proceedings have been taken for two years or more prior thereto and shall give notice thereof to counsel of record and to those parties for whom no appearance has been entered as required by Pa.R.J.A. No. 1901(c). If no good cause for continuing a matter is shown at the call of the list, the Court shall enter an order dismissing such matter.

   Counsel and unrepresented parties who have received notice that a case is on the list of inactive cases may file a motion to remove the case from the purge list, alleging in said motion whatever facts may support good cause for continuing the matter. The motion must be filed not later than thirty-one (31) days prior to the call of the list, and the moving party shall immediately serve all other counsel of record and those parties for whom no appearance has been entered. A party opposing the motion must file an answer not later than seven (7) days prior to the call of the list. Every party who has filed a motion to remove a case from the list or an answer opposing such motion must be present at the call of the list in person or through counsel.
