ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR PARTIAL RELIEF FROM LOCAL RULES REQUIRING LOCAL COUNSEL TO ATTEND PROCEEDINGS
JANE M. VIRDEN, Magistrate Judge.
This matter comes before the Court upon the motion for partial relief from the local rules that require local counsel to attend all proceedings [43]. Upon due consideration, the Court finds the motion is not well taken and should be denied.
Specifically, counsel's request to be excused from all depositions is overly broad and unsupported by good cause. Counsel cites no health-related or other valid reason to justify suspension of the local rules in such a blanket fashion. Accordingly, the instant motion is denied.
SO ORDERED.
