ORDER
VERNON S. BRODERICK, District Judge.
I am in receipt of Plaintiffs' December 20, 2019, letter requesting "a conference to set a deposition schedule and, if necessary, to modify the Scheduling Order," (Doc. 41), and Defendants' December 23, 2019, letter proposing a sixty-day extension of all discovery deadlines, (Doc. 42).
Rule 3 of my Individual Rules and Practices in Civil Cases requires parties to raise all discovery disputes with the Court by "single letter, jointly composed" and to adhere strictly to the meet and confer requirement of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37(a)(1). Further, "[s]eparate and successive letters will not be read."
Accordingly, it is hereby:
ORDERED that the parties' requests are DENIED without prejudice for failure to comply with my individual rules. If the parties are in agreement as to any proposed extension of the discovery deadlines, they should submit a joint request in accordance with Rule 1G of my Individual Rules, along with a revised proposed Case Management Plan and Scheduling Order.
SO ORDERED.
