KIMBERLY GOMEZ, Plaintiff, v. OPTAVISE, LLC, Defendant
ORDER
LESLIE HOFFMAN PRICE, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Upon review of Plaintiff's Response to the Court's September 23, 2024 Order to Show Cause (Doc. No. 41), the September 23, 2024 Order to Show Cause (Doc. No. 38) is hereby DISCHARGED. However, it is clear from Defendant's Motion (Doc. No. 36) and Plaintiff's Response (Doc. No. 41) that counsel for both parties have failed to comply in full with the conferral requirements of Local Rule 3.01(g) and the Standing Order on Discovery Motions. See Local Rule 3.01(g); Doc. No. 25 ¶ 1 (requiring good faith conferrals to be held in person or via telephone). The parties are cautioned that future failures to comply in full with these conferral requirements may result in the imposition of sanctions without further notice. It is further ORDERED that future motions filed in this case must contain a detailed Local Rule 3.01(g) certification containing the following: the date, time, and length of the conferral, the method by which the conferral was conducted, and the results of the conferral efforts. Failure to comply with this requirement and/or the requirements of Local Rule 3.01(g) and the Standing Order on Discovery Motions will result in the summary denial of the offending motion.
Counsel are reminded of their obligation to engage in civil and cooperative discovery. See Middle District Discovery (2021) § (I)(A).
DONE and ORDERED.
