  Although the parties did not brief this issue, we observe that Minn. Stat. § 484.014, subd.
3(a)(6), also may infringe on the judiciary’s ability to regulate procedure because the
statute does not appear to allow an affected party to respond to a motion for expungement.
Generally, in civil proceedings, when a party files a motion, the opposing party has the
opportunity to respond within 14 days. Minn. R. Civ. P. 115.03(b). In contrast, Minn.
Stat. § 484.014, subd. 3(a)(6), does not on its face afford the opposing party an opportunity
to oppose expungement. But even if a party did oppose a motion to expunge an eviction
case court file, the district court has no authority under Minn. Stat. § 484.014, subd. 3(a)(6),
to consider the argument or deny the motion. Minn. Stat. § 484.014, subd. 3(a)(6),
interferes with the district court’s enforcement of procedural rules, which ordinarily allows
a party to oppose a motion within a reasonable time frame.
