This Day This Cause Having Come On For Hearing On The Motion Of Plaintiff, Form

Use a THIS DAY This Cause Having Come On For Hearing On The Motion Of Plaintiff, template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What this motion form covers

This form is a court-motion document used to present a plaintiff’s request for judicial consideration at a hearing. Its identifying language begins, “This Day This Cause Having Come On For Hearing On The Motion Of Plaintiff,” and ordinarily belongs with the case caption, docket or case number, hearing information, requested relief, supporting grounds, exhibits, and authorized signatures. The exact filing requirements depend on the court and state law. ESIGN and UETA generally recognize electronic records, but they exclude court orders and official court filings, so signNow preparation does not itself constitute filing or court acceptance.

Who prepares this motion

Plaintiff counsel

A plaintiff or plaintiff’s attorney can prepare the motion caption, hearing reference, requested relief, exhibits, and signature areas for internal review before any court-specific filing step.

Legal operations

Legal operations teams can route drafts for approval, preserve the signed version and audit trail, and separately document service, filing-portal submission, or clerk acceptance required by the court.

Who benefits from this motion workflow

This motion workflow fits plaintiff-side legal teams that need controlled review, documented approvals, and organized records before completing court-specific filing steps.

  • Solo plaintiff attorneys can prepare a hearing motion, route it to a client for factual confirmation, and retain the signed draft with its access history before filing through the required court channel.
  • Small litigation practices can coordinate attorneys, paralegals, and clients around one motion version, reducing caption inconsistencies and preserving approval evidence for the case file.
  • Enterprise legal departments can apply role-based review to recurring motion workflows, while separating signNow records from formal court filing, service, and judicial acceptance obligations.

These tasks are executed by both individual contributors and centralized administrators depending on organizational policy and required controls.

Features for preparing this motion

signNow helps organize this motion for review, signature, and recordkeeping, while court filing and execution requirements remain governed by the applicable court and state law.

Caption control

Upload the motion document and preserve its caption, case number, hearing reference, parties, and requested relief while preparing fields for review.

Field review

Auto-detect fillable areas where available, then verify every field manually because court pleadings often contain structured text rather than standard forms.

Role assignment

Assign review or signature fields to the plaintiff, attorney, or authorized representative without changing the motion’s substantive language.

Audit trail

Use an audit trail to record access, actions, timestamps, and completed signing events for internal document history and evidentiary support.

Execution controls

Collect supporting acknowledgments or internal approvals separately when the court, a notary, or state law requires a specific execution method.

Record storage

Store the completed draft and audit record together, while keeping proof of any separate filing, service, or clerk acceptance.

What the audit trail records

For this motion, the audit trail documents signing activity and record history; it does not prove court filing, service, or judicial acceptance.

Wills, codicils, testamentary trusts, and family-law decrees are also excluded categories.

Why teams look for DocuSign alternatives

Best practices for this motion

Use signNow to control preparation and approval, while treating court rules, service requirements, and filing acceptance as separate legal steps.

Verify the case caption

Preserve the complete caption, including the parties, court, case number, and hearing reference. Compare the uploaded document against the source pleading before placing any signature or approval fields.

Complete legal review

Separate substantive legal review from electronic execution. Confirm that requested relief, factual grounds, exhibits, and certificates of service match the court’s local rules before routing the motion.

Preserve filing evidence

Use signNow’s audit trail as supporting record history, not as proof of filing. Save the court portal receipt, clerk confirmation, or other accepted filing evidence separately.

Control matter records

Restrict access to authorized counsel, clients, and legal operations personnel. Retain the signed motion, exhibits, audit trail, and service evidence under the matter’s approved records policy.

Rules that limit electronic signing

State filing rules

May require wet-ink acknowledgment

Court filings

Excluded from electronic execution

Court orders

May require judicial authentication

Real-estate deeds

Recording may require acknowledgment

Challenges when preparing this motion

  • The motion title may not identify the underlying hearing date, requested relief, or governing case number clearly enough for court review.
  • Unsigned exhibits, missing certificates of service, and inconsistent party names can delay review or prompt a clerk’s deficiency notice.
  • A completed draft may be mistaken for an officially filed pleading when the court requires a separate filing portal or clerk submission.
  • Electronic signing does not replace court-specific filing rules, service requirements, judicial approval, or required notarization for supporting documents.

Troubleshooting this motion workflow

These answers distinguish signNow’s document workflow from the court’s independent requirements for filing, service, review, and acceptance.

Business includes legally binding eSignatures, templates, and audit trails at $8 per user per month when billed annually. For this motion, preserve separate proof of court filing and acceptance because signNow completion is not court filing.

Yes, signNow can record a signer’s intent, access, timestamps, and document history. ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. chapter 96, and applicable state law support electronic records, but court exclusions still apply.

Use the uploaded motion as the source, inspect auto-detected fields, and manually confirm the caption, case number, hearing reference, requested relief, and signature areas before sending it for review.

Business includes 100 signature invites per user per year, with overage fees when the allowance is exceeded. Business Premium adds bulk send, but neither plan changes court filing rules.

For a consumer-facing electronic record, ESIGN requires disclosure of the right to paper, access to the electronic format, and a process to withdraw consent under 15 U.S.C. §7001(c).

Export the completed motion and audit trail from signNow, then retain any filing receipt, service certificate, or clerk acceptance required by the applicable court’s rules.
