be completed by the cut-off date, taking into account the times for services, notice, and response as

set forth in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. All disputes concerning discovery shall be brought

to the attention of Magistrate Judge Leo S. Papas no later than thirty (30) days following the date

more months. Please plan accordingly. For example, you may have to contact the judge's law clerk

three or more months in advance of the motion cutoff to calendar the motion. Failure to timely

request a motion date may result in the motion not being heard. Motions will not be heard on the

above date unless you have obtained that date from the judge's law clerk.

Briefs or memoranda in support of or in opposition to any pending motion shall not exceed

twenty-five (25) pages in length without leave of the judge who will hear the motion. No reply
