Opinion
CIVIL ACTION NO. H-08-0551.
March 10, 2009
ORDER
Counsel for defendant has filed a Motion to Compel, (Docket Entry No. 41). The filing of this motion is inconsistent with this court's procedures, which require the following:
Any party wishing to make any discovery motion should arrange for a conference with the court before the preparation and submission of any motion papers. Call, fax, or e-mail Mrs. Eddins at Lisa_Eddins@txs.uscourts.gov at any time to arrange for a premotion conference and notify your adversary of the date and time fixed for the conference, subject to the availability of opposing counsel. The fax number is (713) 250-5213. To the extent that the proposed motion can be disposed of upon oral presentation at the conference, this will be done. If papers are necessary, the issues to be addressed and a schedule for the briefs will be defined in the conference.
This motion is stricken. The court has scheduled a premotion conference for March 23, 2009, at 2:00 p.m. to address the subject matter of the motion. Out-of-town counsel may appear by telephone if arrangements are made in advance with Ms. Eddins
