A separate motion must be filed for each preliminary ruling sought. Each motion must specifically identify the relief sought, and must contain the memorandum of law in the same document.

Contempt -- Action by court. If the court finds the person is guilty of the contempt, the court may impose a fine not exceeding $1,000, order the person incarcerated in the county jail not exceeding 30 days, or both.
