Hegarty, United States Magistrate Judge, on September 4, 2012. Before the Court are Plaintiffs’ Emergency Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction [filed August 3, 2012; docket #3], Plaintiffs’ Emergency Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction [filed August 6, 2012; docket #4], and Plaintiffs’ Emergency Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction [filed 2 August 9, 2012; docket #8]. Judge Martinez denied Plaintiffs’ requests for temporary restraining orders and held in abeyance any requests for preliminary injunction “until the motion is fully briefed.” See dockets ##5, 10. In fact, Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(a)(1) provides, “[t]he court may issue a preliminary injunction only on notice to the adverse party.” However, none of the motions listed herein contains a certificate of service as required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 5(d)(1) and D.C. Colo. LCivR 5.1G. Further, there is no indication in the motions themselves that Plaintiffs notified Defendants regarding their requests, or served (or attempted to serve) copies of the motions upon the Defendants. D.C. Colo. LCivR 7.1A provides, The court will not consider any motion, other than a motion under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12 or 56, unless counsel for the moving party or a pro se party, before filing the motion, has conferred or made reasonable, good-faith efforts to confer with opposing counsel or a pro se party to resolve the disputed matter. The moving party shall state in the motion, or in a certificate attached to the motion, the specific efforts to comply with this rule. (emphasis added). Therefore, the motions for preliminary injunction are denied without prejudice for failure to comply with applicable federal and local rules. 3
