(b) At the time of filing the motion, there shall be filed supporting affidavits or documents, if referred to in the motion or notice of motion.

Reply briefs are optional and failure to file will not subject a motion to summary ruling.
(d) The court may order oral argument on the motion.
(e) Unless oral argument is ordered, or unless the time is enlarged by the court, the motion is deemed submitted at the expiration of the applicable time limits.
