D. Md. L.R. 104.7
Conference of Counsel Required
Counsel shall confer with one another concerning a discovery dispute and make a
reasonable effort to resolve the differences between them. The Court will not consider any
discovery motion unless the moving party has filed a certificate reciting (a) the date, time,
and place of the discovery conference, and the names of all persons participating therein, or
(b) counsel’s attempts to hold such a conference without success; and (c) an itemization of
the issues requiring resolution by the Court. A “reasonable effort” means more than
sending an email or letter to the opposing party. It requires that the parties meet in person
or by video or telephonic means for a reasonable period of time in a good faith effort to
resolve the disputed matter.
