Rule 37.2. Motion Practice
(a) Discovery Motions. Motion practice hereunder shall comply with LRCi 7.1 and 37.1, addressing only those issues in dispute and, with respect to each such issue, the contentions and authorities of the party. To the extent possible, the parties should not refer the Court to documents other than those to which they are responding. In particular, those discovery requests and responses, or parts thereof, to which objections are made should be set forth in the motion, response or reply.
(b) Certification of Counsel. Any motions filed shall be accompanied by a certification of the moving party as to compliance with this rule; alternatively, if there has not been compliance, the motion shall set forth the efforts made to comply and the reasons why there was no compliance. If counsel agree that meeting in person is not practicable, the conference may take place telephonically or by video conference, or similar technology. The moving party's certification shall contain the date, time, duration, and method of communication of the conference.
