ORDER

NANCY J. KOPPE, Magistrate Judge.

Pending before the Court is the Government's amended petition seeking entry of an order requiring Defendant to produce various documents. See Docket No. 3. Defendant has filed an untimely response. Docket No. 6.1 That defense raises approximately sixteen defenses and/or objections to the underlying IRS summons. See id. at 2-4. Those defense and objections are made in entirely conclusory form, devoid of any factual support or legal authority of any kind. See id. To the extent Defendant intends to wait until the order to show cause hearing to elaborate on the factual and legal bases for these defenses and objections, the Court declines to adopt such an approach. Instead, the Court has a strong preference that parties fully brief all factual and legal issues prior to any hearing. See, e.g., Docket No. 2 (denying petition without prejudice because it was unsupported by a memorandum of points and authorities).

Accordingly, the parties are hereby ORDERED to meet-and-confer on the appropriate vehicle through which the instant dispute should be resolved, whether that be through the filing of a proper memorandum of points and authorities in response to the pending amended petition and a reply, through Defendant's filing of a motion to quash or other properly supported motion, or through some other means by which the issues in dispute may be fully developed in writing prior to any hearing. The parties are further ORDERED to file a joint proposed schedule for resolving this case, including the briefing identified above, by July 28, 2016.2

IT IS SO ORDERED.
