TB FOOD USA, LLC, Plaintiff, v. AMERICAN PENAEID, INC., and ROBIN PEARL, Defendants, and AMERICAN MARICULTURE, INC., Defendant/Counterclaimant v. PB LEGACY, INC., Counterclaim Defendant.
ORDER
NICHOLAS P. MIZELL, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Before the court is a motion for attorney's fees and costs (Doc. 511) filed by American Mariculture, Inc., American Penaeid, Inc., and Robin Pearl, and a renewed motion for attorney's fees and expenses (Doc. 513) filed by TB Food USA, LLC, Ken Gervais, Randal Aungst, and PB Legacy, Inc. But the former fails to comply with Local Rule 3.01(g), and the latter fails to comply with Local Rule 7.01(a) as well as the court's order dated January 4, 2022. Moreover, the parties have filed several post-trial motions (Docs. 483, 484, 485, 486, 487, 488) that may alter the prevailing-party and fee-entitlement analysis.
The court tends to strictly enforce its motion-related conference requirements to foster communication between the parties, narrow or resolve issues without court involvement, and ensure that disputes are neither under- nor overstated when first presented to the court for resolution.
Accordingly, both motions for attorney's fees and costs (Docs. 511, 513) are DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. The parties may file any Local Rule 7.01(b) motions 21 days after all pending post-trial motions (Docs. 483, 484, 485, 486, 487, 488) are resolved by this court.
Unless otherwise provided in a subsequent order, any motion(s) for reconsideration will not toll the 21-day deadline.
SO ORDERED.
