Certificate of Conference

W.D. La. LR 7.4.1

Except for any case governed by LR3.2, prior to filing any non-dispositive motion, the moving party must confer with any interested party and try to resolve the relevant issues, in whole or in part, without court intervention. A certificate discussing the substance of the parties’ conference must be included in the motion. If the interested party is non-responsive, the certificate of conference must state the efforts made by the movant to confer. The Court may impose sanctions for failing to timely communicate with opposing counsel.
