ORDER
CHERYL R. ZWART, Magistrate Judge.
The final progression order for this case states: "Motions to compel shall not be filed without first contacting the chambers of the undersigned magistrate judge to set a conference for discussing the parties' dispute." (Filing No. 61, at CM/ECF p. 2). The purpose of this requirement is to limit motion practice in favor of first requiring candid discussions between counsel before contacting the court, and absent a resolution between counsel alone, then exploring potential resolution through court-facilitated discussions. Unnecessary motion practice is both expensive and time-consuming, and it undermines the goal of securing "a just, speedy, and inexpensive determination" of this case. Fed. R. Civ. P.1.
Plaintiff did not comply with the court's order before filing a motion to compel.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion to compel, (Filing No. 128), is denied.
