(IN CHAMBERS) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Plaintiff filed a discovery motion that is not in the joint format mandated under the Local
Rules. (Docket # 87.) The motion is accompanied by a declaration (as required under Local
Rule 37-2.4) that indicates that the defense did not provide its portion of the joint motion before
Plaintiff filed it. (Docket # 87-2 at 4.) The Court further observes that it conducted an informal
call with the parties in early September in an effort to mediate this discovery dispute – the
parties appeared to agree on a way forward with discovery that suggested that motion practice
was not necessary.
A party’s failure to file a required document within a deadline set by local rule or to
cooperate in the submission of a joint discovery motion “may be deemed consent to the granting
[ ] of the motion.” Local Rule 7-12. Therefore, the defense is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE
for its failure to comply with the joint filing process and to submit a substantive response to the
discovery motion by October 2, at 3:00 p.m. If the Court does not receive any submission, the
motion will be granted as unopposed under local rule without further proceedings.
