Answer:

Part of the answer to your question can be found in the answer to another question on this site:

“Question: What does "Undesignated" mean when it is under the EVENT TITLE on the Docket for the Judges calendar for a Return hearing in a family court case??
Answer: When the clerk's office enters an event on its calendar, it will often enter a code to define a certain event. Sometimes, the subheading for the event has no match in the code list, so the computer essentially punts and records "Undesignated." An entry like that means little (if anything) concerning the merits of your case, and it should not keep you awake at night!”

As for the average time for response to a blank motion filed with the family court, it is difficult to say—it depends largely on the court.
