This rule prohibits a movant for sanctions from filing its motion with the trial court before the thirty-day period after serving the motion on the other party has expired. Rule 55.03(e)(1)(A). The apparent purpose of this thirty-day period is to allow the non-moving party an opportunity to take corrective action as to his or her alleged violation of Rule 55.03(b) prior to the court ruling on such a motion, thereby conserving judicial resources if such corrective action is taken. The issue for us to decide is whether, in this case, the respondents prematurely filed their motion for sanctions with the trial court, thereby depriving it of jurisdiction to enter sanctions on their motion against John and Karen Fay, Robin Farms, Harlow Fay, and their attorney.
