(orally or in writing), or make reasonable effort to confer (orally or in writing), or
make reasonable effort to confer (orally or in writing), with all parties or non-
parties who may be affected by the relief sought in the motion in a good faith
effort to resolve by agreement the issues to be raised in the motion. . . . At the
end of the motion, and above the signature block, counsel for the moving party
shall certify [in accordance herewith.]
Id. (alterations and emphasis added). The Rule further states that “[f]ailure to comply . . . may
be cause for the Court to grant or deny the motion and impose on counsel an appropriate sanction
. . . .” Id. (alterations added). The Antitrust Plaintiffs have failed to certify that they conferred or
made reasonable efforts to confer with Defendant. Therefore, it is
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Motion [ECF No. 433] is DENIED
WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
