CRAIG P. MILLER, 
President Judge

Rule 1035.2(a). Procedures Concerning Disposition of Motions for Summary Judgment.

 (A) Procedure Defined.

 (1) Motions for Summary Judgment shall be accompanied by a memorandum of law and must be filed in the Office of the Prothonotary.

 (2) Service shall be made in conformity with Pa.R.C.P. No. 440.

 (3) All motions shall be accompanied by a notice plainly appearing on the fact thereof of the date the motion was filed with the Prothonotary and advising that a reply memorandum of law must be filed within thirty (30) days from that date. The moving party shall also file with the motion an affidavit of service which shall state that the notice required by this rule has been given.

 (4) The Prothonotary shall immediately send the Motion for Summary Judgment to the Court Administrator who shall refer the matter to the appropriate Judge. All requests for an extension of the thirty (30) day period to answer such motions must be approved by the Court by a motion addressed to the Court Administrator; no agreement entered into solely by the parties will be honored by the Court.

 (5) Any motion subject to this rule which is filed without an accompanying memorandum may be dismissed. If a reply memorandum has not been filed pursuant to the notice required by subsection (3) of this rule, the Court may dispose of the matter without such memorandum.

 (6) If any matter is settled or withdrawn prior to disposition, the Court Administrator shall be promptly advised, and the moving party shall file an appropriate praecipe with the Prothonotary.

 (7) The Court in its discretion may grant additional time in which to file a reply memorandum, request additional memoranda, call for oral argument, advance the time for filing, or enter an order prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day period.

 (B) Matters Requiring Factual Supplement to the Record.

 (1) In the case of motions based on facts not presently a part of the record, a memorandum of law and notice to opposing parties to file a reply memorandum of law within thirty (30) days need not be filed contemporaneously with the motion. Instead, the moving party shall indicate that additional testimony is required.

 (2) In all such cases, the moving party shall undertake to supplement the record with the necessary facts by affidavit, deposition or testimony, as the case may require, within sixty (60) days from the filing of the motion.

 (3) If the Court requires, the moving party shall file a memorandum of law within two (2) weeks from the completion of the supplementation of the record. This memorandum shall be processed as stated above.
