ORDER
(Docket No. 145)
NANCY J. KOPPE, Magistrate Judge.
Pending before the Court is Plaintiffs' motion for an order fixing expert witness fees related to a deposition taken on June 8, 2017. Docket No. 145. "Discovery is supposed to proceed with minimal involvement of the Court." F.D.I.C. v. Butcher, 116 F.R.D. 196, 203 (E.D. Tenn. 1986). Counsel should strive to be cooperative, practical and sensible, and should seek judicial intervention "only in extraordinary situations that implicate truly significant interests." In re Convergent Techs. Securities Litig., 108 F.R.D. 328, 331 (N.D. Cal. 1985). A pre-filing conference between counsel that includes personal consultation is required before filing a discovery motion. Local Rule 26-7(c); see also Local Rule IA 1-3(f). Plaintiffs' motion indicates that their counsel sent a letter to opposing counsel on this issue, but has not received a response. Docket No. 145-1 at ¶¶ 9-10. Because that showing fails to show a sufficient pre-filing conference has been held, the motion is hereby DENIED without prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
