JOHNNY GRAYS, Plaintiff, v. ALEJANDRO N. MAYORKAS, SECRETARY, U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Defendants.
ORDER DENYING WITHOUT PREJUDICE PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO COMPEL RESPONSES
ROBERT H. CLELAND UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Plaintiff presents a motion to compel responses to discovery demands. Upon review of the motion and supporting brief, there appears to be no indication that movant has met, conferred, or otherwise attempted to reach resolution short of a motion.
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37, provides in part that “a party may move for an order compelling disclosure or discovery. The motion must include a certification that the movant has in good faith conferred or attempted to confer with the person or party failing to make disclosure or discovery in an effort to obtain it without court action. This court's Local Rules provide the same. See E.D. Mich. LR 7.1(a).
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion (ECF No. 26) is DENIED without prejudice.
Any subsequent motion must provide a certification that includes a detailed explanation of who conferred, when, and what was discussed in an effort to reach an agreed resolution.
