g. Electronic Filing Under Seal. These procedures only apply to motions and applications before Judge Figueredo. Filing under seal requires permission of the Court.

c. Discovery Disputes. 1. Requirement to Meet and Confer. The Court will not hear any discovery dispute unless the moving party (including a non-party seeking relief) has first conferred in good faith with any adverse party to resolve the dispute. An exchange of letters or emails alone does not satisfy this requirement. Counsel must respond promptly and in good faith to any request from another party to confer in accordance with this paragraph.
4. Courtesy Copies. Courtesy copies of Letter-Motions are not required unless the attached exhibits exceed 50 pages, in which case one (1) courtesy copy, marked as such on the cover page, should be submitted to Chambers promptly after filing. Courtesy copies should bear the ECF header generated at the time of electronic filing and include protruding tabs for any exhibits. 5 Source ↗
d. Oral Argument on Motions. Parties may request oral argument by Letter- Motion. Counsel should select the “Letter-Motion” option on ECF for filing such a request. The Court will determine whether argument will be heard and, if so, will advise counsel of the argument date and time. Junior attorneys are invited to argue motions they have helped prepare. Firms are encouraged to provide this opportunity to junior attorneys for training purposes. The Court is amenable to permitting more than one lawyer to argue for one party if this creates an opportunity for a junior lawyer to participate. e. Motions in Pro Se Cases. As required by Local Civil Rule 7.2, counsel must provide a pro se litigant with printed copies of decisions cited in any submission that are unreported or reported exclusively on computerized databases. Where a party seeks summary judgment against a pro se litigant, the party must also comply with the notice requirements for Local Civil Rule 56.2. Where a party moves to dismiss or for judgment on the pleadings against a pro se litigant and refers to matters outside the pleadings, counsel must serve and file the notice set forth in Local Civil Rule 12.1. In such situations, counsel is strongly encouraged to move in the alternative for summary judgment so that the pro se litigant understands, based on the Local Civil Rule 56.1 submission, which facts are relevant to the motion.
