PAPERLESS ORDER STRIKING #5 Motion to Sever filed by Grace Funeral Home, Inc. ("Motion"). Although the Motion contains a certificate of good faith conferral, the certification fails to comply with Local Rule 7.1(a)(3) because it merely states that Defendant Grace Funeral Home, Inc. "conferred, or attempted to confer" with counsel for Plaintiff and the other Interpleader Defendants," without informing the Court whether the parties actually conferred, whether Plaintiff or other Interpleader Defendants oppose the relief, or, if unable to confer, what specific efforts were taken to do so. Signed by Judge Kathleen M. Williams on 3/12/2026. (aw00)
