Defendants.

On April 18, 2016 this court issued a standing order. ECF No. 3-1. In the order,

19

the parties were directed to engage in a meet and confer prior to filing a motion. Id. at 3. The

20

meet and confer directive was designed to have the parties discuss thoroughly the substance of the

21

contemplated motion and any potential resolution. Id. After meeting and conferring, if a party

22

still desired to file a motion, that party was directed to file a notice of motion containing “a

23

certification by counsel filing the motion that meet and confer efforts have been exhausted, with a

24

brief summary of meet and confer efforts.” Id.

25

On April 19, 2016, defendant American Medflight, Inc. filed a motion to dismiss

26

under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). ECF No. 7. American Medflight, Inc.’s counsel

27

did not file a certification indicating that meet and confer efforts have been exhausted. Thus,

28

counsel did not comply with the 2016 standing order.
