  2213.  Where  motion  made,  in  county  court action. (a) Ex parte
  motions.  A motion in an action in a  county  court  that  may  be  made
  without  notice  may be made before a motion term of the county court or
  before the county judge out of court in any county in the state.
(b) Motions that may be made before the supreme  court  or  a  justice
  thereof.  When no motion term is being held and there is no county judge
  available within the county, any motion in an action in a county  court,
  whether  or  not  on notice, may be made or noticed to be heard before a
  motion term of the supreme court or, upon order to show cause granted by
  a justice of the supreme court, before such justice out of court, in the
  judicial district where the action is triable or in a  county  adjoining
  the  county  where  the action is triable, except a motion under article
  forty-four or a motion for an order that would dispose of the action, in
  whole or in part, in any manner other than by settlement  under  section
  1207.
(c)  The chief administrator of the courts may by rule exclude motions
  from the operation of this section  within  a  department,  district  or
  county.
