If a hearing is described on a court docket as a non-evidentiary matter, what does that mean?
It means that no evidence will be taken at the hearing. A procedural hearing, such as a pretrial or a hearing for approval and entry of the language of an order, is non-evidentiary in nature, and many motions that argue legal issues or request an evidentiary hearing may be heard as non-evidentiary matters (with potential for the court to order an evidentiary hearing to learn relevant facts).
