An expedited-treatment request must describe prior efforts to expedite and include a proposed order providing a response date, deadline, or other opportunity for the opposing side to be heard.
Court's wording
If expedited treatment is requested the request should state what has already been done to attempt to expedite the matter (personal consultation with opposing counsel, email service on opposing party, etc.). It should also include a proposed form of order that provides a response date or deadline or some other provision for the other sides right to be heard.
