ORDER

Presently before the court is the parties' Proposed Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order Submitted in Compliance with LR 26-1(e) (ECF No. 13), filed on June 7, 2018. The parties request 180 days to conduct discovery, with a proposed cut-off date of September 17, 2018.

Local Rule 26-1 provides that discovery plans must include a certification that the parties "met and conferred about the possibility of using alternative dispute-resolution processes including mediation, arbitration, and if applicable, early neutral evaluation." LR 26-1(b)(7). Additionally, the parties must certify that "that they considered consent to trial by a magistrate judge. . . ." LR 26-1(b)(8). The parties do not provide the required certifications setting forth that they considered using the alternative dispute-resolution process and trial by a magistrate judge. The court therefore will deny the motion for failure to comply with Local Rule 26-1(b)(7)-(8).

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the parties' Proposed Discovery Plan (ECF No. 13) is DENIED without prejudice.
