shown why a telephone meeting is adequate. A joint letter setting forth these meet and confer efforts, each

unresolved issue, and the final positions of each party, shall be included in the moving papers. The Court

will not consider discovery motions unless the moving party has complied with Fed. R. Civ. P. 37 and Civil

L. R. 37-1(a).

A party or counsel has a continuing duty to supplement the initial disclosure when required

under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(e)(1).

filed motions may be withdrawn without leave of the Court, within seven (7) days of the date for service of
