B. The motion shall state with particularity the grounds therefor and shall set forth the relief sought.

C. A motion may be granted without a contradictory hearing when mover is clearly entitled thereto without supporting proof. A motion shall not be denied without a contradictory hearing unless, assuming the facts alleged to be true, mover is not entitled to relief.
