UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTICT OF OHIO
WESTERN DIVISION
DAVID DURHAM,
Plaintiff,

Case No. 1:18-cv-91
McFarland, J.
Litkovitz, M.J.

vs.

ORDER

DETECTIVE JERRY NIFFENEGGER, et. al.
Defendants.

This matter is before the Court on plaintiff David Durham’s motion to compel (Doc. 80).
The Court’s Standing Order, at §§ I.D.2-3, sets forth its procedures regarding motions relating to
discovery. The Court does not entertain discovery motions until the parties have satisfied those
procedures. First, the parties must attempt to resolve the dispute by extrajudicial means, which
the Court defines to include both in-writing and telephonic efforts. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(a)(1);
S.D. Ohio Civ. R. 37.1. If unsuccessful, the parties are to contact the Court’s Courtroom Deputy
to schedule an informal discovery conference.
Plaintiff’s motion (Doc. 80) is therefore STRICKEN. Plaintiff is ORDERED to comply
with the Court’s Standing Order as referenced herein.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
