In New York, this type of substitute motion is called an "Order to Show Cause." An order to show cause can be heard anytime the court directs, even fewer than the usual eight days, and even as short as a few hours later, if the court is convinced there's a real emergency.
An Order to Show Cause is way to present to a judge the reasons why the court should order relief to a party. For example, a party can seek an order granting discovery, or dismissing all or part of an action by bringing an Order to Show Cause.
Bringing a motion by notice usually gives the other side weeks to respond and sets no real deadline for the court to make a decision. If the movant cannot wait weeks, she may submit an order to show cause, asking the court to set tight deadlines for a response and to make a decision.
