So, there’s a ton of bad replies here. The conferral requirement is a local rule issue.
A bit of history. Many times people file motions without making any effort to resolve them amongst themselves. Some of these can be easily resolved and filed as consented motions, like extensions of time. Some are more complex but sometimes resolvable, like dismissal of certain counts.
The purpose of this kind of local rule is to avoid wasting court limited resources on things the parties can work out themselves.
That’s what is being said here: “You haven’t made a good faith effort to resolve this before coming to me to resolve it for you.”
Is it profoundly silly to issue this ruling in light of the issue and the party? Of course it is. Would most judges have done this knowing that? Probably not. But it’s not an appealable order because they can refile after making a good faith effort to resolve the substance of the motion.
