June 22, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 8 PAPERLESS ORDER: The Court denies, without prejudice, #6 Defendant United States Center for Safesport's motion for substitution of counsel because the motion does not contain a pre-filing-conference certification, as required by the Court's Local Rules. Local Rule 7.1(a)(3) requires an attorney filing a motion in a civil case to first confer with opposing counsel in a good-faith effort to resolve by agreement the issues raised in the motion. The filing attorney must then include in the motion a statement explaining to the Court that (1) all or some of the issues raised in the motion are unopposed; (2) counsel conferred but could not agree on all or some of the issues raised in the motion; or (3) counsel diligently attempted to confer but was unable to reach the opposing counsel. S.D. Fla. L.R. 7.1(a)(3). The purpose of the rule is to ensure judicial economy and prevent courts from considering issues the parties could agree on independently, and to ascertain whether the Court need wait for a response from the opposing party before deciding the motion.
