If a motion to open or set aside, or to extend a final stay of execution of, a summary process judgment is filed with the court, the court shall, not later than the first court day after the filing of such motion, conduct an ex parte review of the motion and grant the motion, deny the motion or schedule a hearing on the motion as the court deems warranted under the circumstances.
(P.A. 96-74, S. 7; P.A. 99-157, S. 1.)
History: P.A. 99-157 made provisions applicable to a motion to extend a final stay of execution, required the court to conduct the ex parte review of a motion and take action “not later than the first court day after the filing of such motion” and deleted the provision that allowed the court to schedule a hearing without first reviewing the motion.
