Case No. 2:13-cv-00076-JAD-NJK
ORDER
(Docket No. 193)

16

All discovery motions require a pre-filing conference and certification thereto. Local Rule 26-

17

7(c). The pending motion to reopen discovery indicates that counsel “attempted to confer,” received no

18

response, but had previously been told via email that such a motion would be opposed. Docket No. 193

19

at 1-2. In so doing, counsel has failed to satisfy the underlying meet-and-confer requirements, as well

20

as the requirements to provide a detailed certification of the meet-and-confer process. See Local Rule

21

26-7(c); see also Local Rule IA 1-3(f). Counsel shall review the applicable rules and continue the meet-

22

and-confer efforts. Defense counsel shall promptly respond to the request to schedule the meet-and-

23

confer.
