C.D. Cal. L.R. 7-3
Conference of Counsel Prior to Filing of Motions
In all cases
not listed as exempt in L.R. 16-12, and except in connection with discovery
motions (which are governed by L.R. 37-1 through 37-4), applications under
F.R.Civ.P. 65 for temporary restraining orders or preliminary injunctions,
and motions to retax costs under L.R. 54-2.5, counsel contemplating the
filing of any motion must first contact opposing counsel to discuss
thoroughly, preferably in person, the substance of the contemplated motion
and any potential resolution. The conference must take place in person, by
telephone, or via video conference at least 7 days prior to the filing of the
motion. If the parties are unable to reach a resolution that eliminates the
necessity for a hearing, counsel for the moving party must include a
declaration, under penalty of perjury, that sets forth at a minimum the date(s)
the conference took place and the position of each party with respect to each
disputed issue that will be the subject of the motion. Failure to include such
a declaration may result in the motion being denied.
