THE HONORABLE VALERIE P. COOKE, U.S. MAGISTRATE JUDGE

DEPUTY CLERK:

LISA MANN

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 motion for order compelling discovery (#23). Defendants
filed an opposition (#25), and no reply was filed.
Plaintiff’s motion to compel (#23) is DENIED. Plaintiff failed to meet and confer with
opposing counsel and failed to provide certification that he was unable to resolve the matter
without court action pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 37 and LR 26-7(b). Shuffle Master, Inc. v.
Progressive Games, Inc. 170 F.R.D. 166, 170 (D.C. Nev. 1996) (certification must “accurately
and specifically convey to the court who, where, how, and when the respective parties attempted
to personally resolve the discovery dispute.”)
Moreover, the court finds that plaintiff’s request for production of documents number
three is overly broad and burdensome.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
LANCE S. WILSON, CLERK
