Requirements of a Motion to Compel and Motion for Sanctions
When discovery disputes arise, they usually are presented to the court in the form of a motion to compel. The motion may be summarily denied by the court if it does not contain a statement that the “movant has conferred or attempted to confer either in person or by telephone with the person or party failing to make the discovery in an effort to secure the information or material without court action.”. Email correspondence does not satisfy this requirement. Email usually heightens rather than pacifies discovery disputes. Also, sending a letter saying, “I will call tomorrow at 3:15 p.m. and will then file a motion to compel,” is not good faith.
A Motion for Discovery Sanctions cannot be the first step. Discovery sanctions may only be sought after a court has made a ruling on a Motion to Compel.
