Good Faith Requirement for Discovery Motions
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York
Text
No motion addressed to a bill of particulars or any discovery matter may be heard
unless counsel for the moving party files in, or simultaneously with, the moving papers
an affidavit certifying that counsel has conferred with counsel for the opposing party in
an effort in good faith to resolve by agreement the issues raised by the motion without
the intervention of the court and has been unable to reach agreement. If some of the
issues raised by the motion have been resolved by agreement, the affidavit must specify
the issues remaining unresolved.
