ORDER REGARDING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR INSPECTION
THIS MATTER came before the Court upon Plaintiff’s Motion For Inspection
(Docket No. 74).  Defendant filed an opposition to said motion.  The time for filing a reply
has expired.
Having reviewed the submissions of the parties, the Court finds that Plaintiff failed
to comply with LRCi 37.1, requiring counsel for the parties to confer in good faith prior to
the filing of such motion.  Consequently, the Court will strike the said motion and order
counsel to meet and confer.  In the event the parties are unable to agree regarding the
inspection of the vehicle, Plaintiff may re-file her motion.
Accordingly, it is now hereby ORDERED:
