JANIE S. MAYERON, Magistrate Judge.
This matter came before the Court upon defendants' Motion to Dismiss [Docket No. 41]. The matter has been referred to the undersigned United States Magistrate Judge for a Report and Recommendation pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636 and Local Rule 72.1.
On December 4, 2015, defendants Paul Ernest Sellors, Daniel Hubbard and Margaret Hubbard moved this Court to dismiss the instant suit filed against them on the ground that they "explicitly reserve all of [their] rights" under Section 1-308 of the Uniform Commercial Code, which they claim provides:
Defendants also maintained that the actions of this Court and of all others in this case were committed in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 241 and 242. Defendants provided no further argument, legal authority, or memorandum of law in support of their motion to dismiss.
Under Rule 7 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a request for a Court order must be made by a motion that "state[s] with particularity the grounds for seeking the order. . . ." Fed. R. Civ. P. 7(b)(1)(B). Additionally, pursuant to the Local Rules of this District, as well as this Court's Pretrial Scheduling Order [Docket No. 19], after contacting the judge's courtroom deputy to schedule a hearing, and at least 42 days before the hearing, a moving party must serve and file a notice of hearing, a memorandum of law in support of the motion, and a proposed order. L.R. 7.1(c)(1). Further, the Local Rules dictate that a moving party must submit a meet-and-confer statement together with the motion that it relates to. L.R. 7.1(a)(1). The meet-and-confer statement must certify that the moving party met and conferred with the opposing party and state whether the parties agreed to the resolution of the motion.
In this case, defendants have utterly failed to comply with the motion practice procedures set forth in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Local Rules of this District, and this Court's Pretrial Scheduling Order. Defendants did not attempt to secure a hearing date prior to filing their motion; did not submit the required meet-and-confer statement; and did not file and serve the notice of hearing, proposed order, and memorandum of law stating with particularity the grounds for seeking an order of dismissal. Consequently, neither plaintiffs nor the Court can discern any basis upon which to grant the relief sought by defendants.
For all of the foregoing reasons, the Court recommends that defendants' Motion to Dismiss [Docket No. 41] be
Under D. Minn. LR 72.2(b), any party may object to this Report and Recommendation by filing with the Clerk of Court, and serving all parties by
