MINUTES OF THE COURT

PRESENT: THE HONORABLE WILLIAM G. COBB, U.S. MAGISTRATE JUDGE
DEPUTY CLERK:

KATIE LYNN OGDEN REPORTER: NONE APPEARING

COUNSEL FOR PLAINTIFF(S): NONE APPEARING
COUNSEL FOR DEFENDANT(S): NONE APPEARING
MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS:
Before the court is Plaintiff’s Emergency Motion to Quash Subpoena (Doc. #1) and
Plaintiff’s Clarified/Revised Emergency Motion to Quash Subpoena (Doc. #4). Plaintiff’s motions,
which do not appear to have been served on opposing counsel (no certificate of service is attached
to Plaintiff’s motions) do not comply with Local Rule 7-5 which reads, in pertinent part, as follows:
(b)

(d)

All ex parte motions, applications or request shall contain a statement
showing good cause why the matter was submitted to the court without notice
to all parties.
***
Written request for judicial assistance in resolving an emergency dispute shall
be . . . accompanied by an affidavit setting forth:
(1) The nature of the emergency;
(2) The office addresses and telephone numbers of movant and all
affected parties; and,
(3) A statement of movant certifying that, after personal consultation and
sincere effort to do so, movant has been unable to resolve the matter
without Court action. The statement also must state when and how the
other affected party was notified of the motion or, if the other party was
not notified, why it was not practicable to do so. * * *

Plaintiff’s emergency motions (Docs. # 1 and # 4) are therefore denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
