attaches a statement certifying that the parties have participated in the meet-and-confer process
and have been unable to resolve the matter without court action.” LR 16-3(a). As used in the
Local Rules, ‘meet and confer’ means “to communicate directly and discuss in good faith the
issues required under the particular rule or court order.” LR IA 1-3(f).
Plaintiffs have not filed with the court a statement certifying that they met and conferred

with counsel for the United States. Further, the United States contends that plaintiffs in fact did
not attempt to meet and confer with counsel for the United States. (ECF Nos. 75-77).
Accordingly, the court will not consider plaintiffs’ motions in limine for failure to comply
