The Court will not hear or consider any discovery motions unless the parties have complied with the meet and confer requirement under Local Rule 37.2 and (if applicable) the terms of any Scheduling Order entered by this Court.  In any discovery motion, the motion shall state with specificity when and how the movant complied with Local Rule 37.2.

Parties are reminded that compliance with Local Rule 37.2 requires a good faith effort to resolve discovery disputes and, other than in exceptional circumstances, communication that takes place face to face or by telephone.  The exchange of correspondence will not normally be sufficient to comply with Local Rule 37.2.
