ORDER
BRIAN K. EPPS, Magistrate Judge.
Before the Court are various pretrial discovery motions filed by Defendant. Assuming that the government has followed its customary liberal discovery policy in this case, many (if not all) of the routine discovery motions filed by Defendant may have been satisfied without the need for Court intervention. The Court will conduct a hearing to consider any motions that the parties have not been able to resolve. Accordingly, the Court DIRECTS defense counsel and the government to file a joint status report by April 10, 2017, that states whether all pretrial motions have been satisfied or otherwise resolved. Any unresolved motions requiring a ruling by the Court must be listed by title and docket number. For the convenience of the parties, the Court has attached to this Order two sample formats for the joint status report.
The Court will require attendance at a hearing on any motion listed as unresolved and may require supplemental briefing prior to such hearing. The parties should only list motions over which the parties disagree. Motions not listed will be deemed resolved or waived.
SO ORDERED.
