Discovery Motions

Judge Gettleman encourages parties to work out discovery disputes and discourages the filing of discovery motions. Discovery disputes are normally resolved without briefing at a status call or a pretrial conference. If the matter is not resolved, Judge Gettleman will set a briefing schedule or refer the matter to a magistrate judge.

Motions for discovery and motions for the production of documents under Fed. R. Civ. P. 26-37 will not be heard or considered unless the parties have complied with Local Rule 37.2.

In any motion for discovery or production of documents, the movant shall state when and how the movant complied with Local Rule 37.2. Failure to comply with these rules will result in sanctions. Most often Judge Gettleman will rule on these motions after oral argument at the motion call and without briefing. Judge Gettleman will also consider these motions at a status call or a settlement conference.
