——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
ORDER DENYING WITHOUT PREJUDICE TLC’S MOTION
FOR LEAVE TO FILE AMENDED LISTING OF OTHER WITNESSES
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
THIS MATTER is before the Court on Plaintiff’s (TLC’s) Motion for Leave to File
Amended Listing of Other Witnesses. ECF 375. Because this Motion does not indicate whether
TLC “conferred and made reasonable good faith efforts to resolve the dispute with, or obtain the
Case 1:20-cv-00080-JMC Document 376 Filed 06/23/22 Page 1 of 2

consent of, opposing counsel prior to filing the [M]otion,” the Motion will be “summarily denied
for failure to certify conferral.” Local Rules of the United States District Court for the District of
Wyoming (Jan. 2022) (“Local Rule”) 7.1(b)(1)(A) (requiring “[t]he moving party [to] state in the
[non-dispositive] motion the specific efforts to comply with this rule and the position of the
opposing party”). Given the modest relief sought in the motion and given that TLC provided
notice of its intent to seek this relief more than two weeks ago, it may well be that all defendants
will consent to this motion. But the Local Rules require TLC to make that inquiry of its fellow
litigants and advise the Court of the results.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Motion is DENIED WITHOUT
PREJUDICE.
