(Id. at 2.)

1 motion filed on October 15, 2017 would have a noting date of November 13, 2017. See W.D.
2 Wash. Local Civ. R. 7(d)(3), (d)(5). Trial is scheduled for December 4, 2017, only 21 days later.
3 (See Dkt. No. 15.) The Court endeavors to rule on motions within 30 days of their noting date,
4 but even this is no guarantee. See W.D. Wash. Local Civ. R. 7(b)(5). The parties should bear in
5 mind these timing considerations.
