this requirement because the parties were preparing a joint motion on the 

instant dispute and because the same parties have filed a joint motion on a 

different dispute. (See ECF Nos. 736, 739). Accordingly, the Court DENIES

noncompliance with this Court’s joint motion procedure for discovery 

disputes. The parties may file a joint motion for determination of discovery 

dispute on Midland’s dialing technologies and processes.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
