On March 16, 2022, an objection to Plaintiff's Fed.R.Civ.P. 30(b)(6) deposition duces tecum notice was filed on behalf of the defendants. (ECF No. 39). The objection is STRICKEN. Pursuant to Local Rule 26.2(a), discovery material specified in Fed.R.Civ.P. 5(d)(1) may be filed only if it provides factual support for a motion or response, when it is read or otherwise used during a trial or other proceeding, on order of the Court, or if discovery material is needed for an appeal. Further, Fed.R.Civ.P. 5(d)(1) states responses to discovery, such as depositions, must not be filed. None of the exceptions listed in the Local Rule apply. The objection was inappropriately filed on the docket.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

A party may not assign as error any defect in this Order to which timely objection was not made. Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(a). Any objections are required to specify the part of the Order to which the party objects and state the basis of the objection. When an objection is filed to a magistrate judge's ruling on a non-dispositive motion, the ruling remains in effect unless it is stayed by the magistrate judge or a district judge. E.D. Mich.
