UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION

CAROLYN WRIGHT,
Plaintiff,
CASE NO. 13-CV-14690
vs.
HON. MARK A. GOLDSMITH
CAM HILTZ TRUCKING, et al.,
Defendants.
_______________________________/

ORDER STRIKING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO COMPEL (Dkt. 19)
On July 23, 2014, Plaintiff filed a motion to compel (Dkt. 19). The Case Management and
Scheduling Order requires that counsel seek concurrence from opposing counsel prior to filing any
motion.

Specifically, section II.B.1 of the Order provides that, “The Court requires strict

compliance with E.D. Mich. LR 7.1(a), which obligates moving parties to seek concurrence before
filing any motion. A moving party must certify compliance with this obligation by setting forth in
the first paragraph of every motion” one of four statements, or a substantially similar one, as
outlined in the Order. See 1/17/14 Order (Dkt. 8). The Order further requires certification of
compliance with the obligation to seek concurrence, and it warns that failure to satisfy these
requirements “will result in the motion being struck.” Id. (emphasis deleted). Plaintiff’s motion
does not satisfy these requirements or provide good cause for excusing them.
Accordingly, the Court strikes the motion to compel (Dkt. 19).
