ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the undersigned pursuant to Plaintiffs' Motion to Withdraw or Amend Admissions or, in the Alternative to Deem Answers Timely Filed (#19). From an examination of the motion it does not appear that Plaintiffs' counsel has shown he has consulted with the Defendant's counsel regarding the motion.

LCvR 7.1(B) reads as follows:

(B) Requirement of Consultation. Any motions other than for dismissal, summary judgment, or default judgment shall show that counsel have conferred or attempted to confer and have attempted in good faith to resolve areas of disagreement and set forth which issues remain unresolved. The requirement of consultation also applied to motions for extension of time and to motions for continuance of a trial or other proceeding. Consultation is not required where the moving party is represented and the non-moving party is unrepresented, or where the motion is for an extension of time to file a responsive pleading to complaint, counterclaim, crossclaim, or any other initial petition for relief.

It also appears that Plaintiffs have attempted to file a brief but has enclosed the brief within the motion. LCvR 7.1(C) states:

(C) Requirement of Briefs. Briefs shall be filed contemporaneously with the motion, except no brief is required in support of timely motions for extension of time, continuances, admission pro hac vice, or early discovery. Exhibits in support of a brief shall be attached as appendices as specified in the Administrative Procedures. Factual contentions shall be supported as specifically as possible by citation to exhibit number and page.

As a result of Plaintiffs' failure to comply with LCvR 7.1(B) and LCvR 7.1(C), the undersigned will deny Plaintiffs' motion without prejudice and will allow Plaintiffs to refile the motion along with a contemporaneously filed Brief if such is necessary after Plaintiffs' consult with Defendant's counsel.

ORDER

IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that Plaintiffs' Motion to Withdraw or Amend Admissions or, in the Alternative, to Deem Answers Timely Filed (#19) is hereby DENIED without prejudice.
