MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
RONNIE L. WHITE, District Judge.
Defendant filed its Motion to Compel, seeking answers to Defendant's interrogatories and production of documents. (ECF No. 14). Therein, Defendant's counsel states he sent a letter, dated October 30, 2018, to Plaintiffs attorney in a good faith effort to resolve this discovery dispute. Defendant advises the Court that Plaintiffs counsel has not responded to Defendant's discovery letter.
Under this Court's local rules, "[t]he Court will not consider any motion relating to discovery and disclosure unless it contains a statement that movant's counsel has conferred in person or by telephone with the opposing counsel in good faith . . ." E.D. Mo. L.R. 3.04 (emphasis added). Written correspondence is insufficient to satisfy this requirement for a good faith attempt to resolve the discovery dispute. Therefore, the Court denies Defendant's Motion to Compel without prejudice.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant's Motion to Compel (ECF No. 14) is DENIED without prejudice.
