S.D.N.Y. Local Civil Rule 6.4
Motions in Limine
Unless the Court orders otherwise, any motion in limine must include a certification
from the moving party that, prior to filing the motion, the party conferred or attempted
to confer with the relevant other party or parties in a good faith effort to resolve the
issue or issues asserted in the motion without the intervention of the Court.

History
Former Local Civil Rule 6.4. Computation of Time [Withdrawn] — For relevant historical context for this local rule, consult the Appendix of Committee Notes. PRE-2024 COMMITTEE NOTE This Rule has been withdrawn. Fed. R. Civ. P. 6 governs computing and extending time and has rendered the Local Rule unnecessary. 2026 COMMITTEE NOTE The purpose of this Rule is to impose a meet-and-confer requirement prior to the filing of a motion in limine. The Federal Rules have long required parties to meet and confer before seeking judicial intervention to resolve discovery disputes. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(a)(1). A similar requirement for motions in limine could obviate the need for unnecessary motion practice in those instances where the would-be movant learns that its adversary does not intend to introduce the evidence in question, or the parties are able to come to an agreement on the evidence to be introduced and any conditions on its use. In other instances, a conferral requirement could narrow or help frame the issues presented by the motion in limine.
