Defendant AONE Brokerage, LLC, has filed a Motion for Protective Order. (ECF No. 59.)
Preliminarily, the motion does not comply with the Court’s Civil Standing Order which sets forth

to compel. (ECF No. 7.) The motion must be titled as a “Motion Regarding Discovery Dispute”
and is limited to 5 pages, and must contain certain provisions. Moreover, Defendant’s motion fails
to comply with Local Rule IA 1-3(f)(2), which provides that a declaration must state all meet and
confer efforts, including the time, place, manner, and participants, and contain a certification that
despite sincere efforts to resolve or narrow the dispute, the parties were unable to do so. The failure
