Pre-Motion Conference Requirements
Before asking the court to resolve a discovery or other dispute, make a reasonable attempt to resolve it with opposing counsel and satisfy personal-consultation and good-faith-effort requirements.
Please don’t ask me to resolve a discovery or some other dispute before you have made a reasonable attempt to resolve it with opposing counsel. The “personal consultation and good-faith efforts” requirements found in the rules should extend to every disagreement that you want me to resolve.

Requesting oral argument does not guarantee that it will be granted.
Don’t assume that because you asked for oral argument, you will automatically get one.
