Minute Order ~Util - Motions Submitted/Under Advisement
MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) The Court has reviewed Defendants' administrative motion (Doc. 114 ) and Plaintiff's response (Doc. 115 ). Though the Court does not necessarily agree that the Defense requires an extension of time based simply upon their desire to file a cross-motion and complete expert depositions to support that motion, the Court does find that the present record fails to demonstrate complete, good faith compliance with the Court's meet and confer requirements. Among other things, the Court is not persuaded by Plaintiff's argument that its failure to share a draft statement of undisputed facts is "harmless error under the circumstances." (Doc. 115.) The meet and confer requirements are designed to conserve the extremely scarce resources of this overburdened Court and are therefore NOT OPTIONAL. The fact that the local rules provide a mechanism for Defendants to respond to the statement of undisputed fact does not override the efficiency benefits of thorough, pre-filing meet and confer on all issues presented in a motion. Therefore, within 14 days of the date of this order, the parties are directed to conduct a follow-up meet and confer regarding the filed motion for summary judgment. If because of that process modifications to the motion are required, Plaintiff SHALL file an amended motion for summary judgment within 14 days of the meet and confer. To accommodate this process, Defendants' deadline to respond to the motion is continued by 30 days and Plaintiff shall have 14 days to reply. Of course, the Court would welcome any reasonable stipulation to make briefing of the cross-motions even more efficient. The parties are further informed that considering this Court's extraordinary workload and backlog of civil motions, the matters will be taken under submission on the papers. Thus, the hearing set for 7/27/26 is VACATED and the Defense SHALL NOT set their cross-motion for hearing signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on July 1, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM)
