Prior to the filing of any summary judgment motion, the Court has two requirements: (1) any party who wishes to file a summary judgment motion must file a status report identifying the claims on which they intend to move for summary judgment, and explain why they believe there are no genuine disputes of material facts that warrant judgment as a matter of law; and (2) appear for an in-person status hearing to discuss that report. The Court will set a schedule for the status report and status hearing in an order on the docket. The report is limited to 10 pages; no response is needed. At the in-person status hearing, the Court will allow the opposing party to make a brief response, and the Court will likely have questions. No decisions are made at this hearing and nothing the parties or the Court says affects the summary judgment process. Rather, this hearing is meant as a preview and a means for the parties to discuss the case with the Court after discovery has closed. All counsel must also be prepared to explain their efforts to settle the case at this hearing. The Court will generally not set a summary judgment briefing schedule until the parties have demonstrated a good-faith effort to resolve the case by settlement, either on their own or with the assistance of the magistrate judge. Any summary judgment motion filed that does not follow this case management process will be stricken from the docket.
