AMANDA ARNOLD SANSONE, Magistrate Judge.
Before the Court is Plaintiff's Motion to Overrule Defendant's Objections and Motion to Compel Responses to Discovery (Doc. 43) (hereinafter referred to as "Plaintiff's Motion to Compel") and Defendant's Response in Opposition to Plaintiff's Motion to Compel (Doc. 46).1 On September 21, 2016, the parties appeared before the undersigned for oral argument of the matter.

FootNotes
1. The Court notes that Plaintiff's counsel did not properly confer with Defendant's counsel pursuant to Local Rule 3.01(g) prior to the filing of this Motion. In the future, any motion that fails to comply with the requirements of Local Rule 3.01(g) may be summarily denied. The Court strongly encourages the parties to speak in person or over the telephone about all issues presented before a motion is filed. See Middle District Discovery (2015) at I.(A)(2). ("The term `confer' in Rule 3.01(g) means a substantive discussion.").
2. Plaintiff's counsel generally represented at the hearing that there may be deposition testimony from this case that is responsive to this request; however, Defendant is not required to locate and index the deposition testimony as the testimony is equally available to Plaintiff and Defendant.
