unresolved disputes. The court's procedures are designed to prevent any one party from avoiding 

filing a joint letter brief by allowing counsel to designate the meet-and-confer time if counsel do 

not agree. If counsel cannot navigate the filing of a joint letter brief, they may schedule a short 

case management conference call through courtroom deputy Lashanda Scott.

The letter brief must be filed under the Civil Events category of “Motions and Related 

Filings > Motions – General > Discovery Letter Brief.” After reviewing the joint letter brief, the 

court will evaluate whether future proceedings are necessary, including any further briefing or 

argument.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
