M.D. Tenn. LR 37.01
Discovery Motions
(a) Good Faith Attempt at Resolution. Unless provided otherwise in a case management
order or other order, before filing any motion to compel discovery, to quash a subpoena,
or for a protective order, counsel for the parties must confer in good faith in an effort to
resolve by agreement the issues raised.
(b) Joint Statement. If the parties are not able to resolve the discovery issue, they must, in
connection with any request for a discovery conference or a discovery motion, file a joint
discovery dispute statement: (1) detailing their attempt at resolution; (2) setting forth
exactly what discovery is in dispute (either by including the text of the discovery requests
and responses or by attachment as exhibits); and, (3) detailing the parties’ respective
positions. This joint statement must be filed before any request for a telephonic discovery
conference with the Judge is made, and must be attached to any filed discovery motion.
