Yep! My point was that the rule in question (R2318) specifies filing a motion. In fact, conceptually, "move" (assembly) is more synonymous with "public expression of intent, seeking support to move forward" than it is with "filing a motion" (court). So it's possible that the correct use is "I move to file a motion (pending 2 support)". -G. the metamotionor
