the parties fulfilled the Court’s meet-and-confer requirement.” J. Battaglia Civil Case Proc.
§ III.D. Furthermore, a motion seeking a continuance “must be supported by a detailed
declaration, explaining the specific reasons [for the request] and averring that the meet and
confer requirement was met.” Id.
The parties did not comply with the Court’s Civil Case Procedures. In particular, the
parties did not include a “detailed declaration[] explaining the specific reasons” for their
request. Id.
Accordingly, the joint motion is 	DENIED without prejudice 	to renewal in
compliance with this Court’s Civil Case Procedures. (Doc. No. 177.) Any renewed motion
and any supporting declaration should identify and explain what tasks remain to be
completed before the parties are able to file a joint motion for preliminary approval, the
amount of time the parties estimate they will require to complete said tasks, and a proposed
deadline for the parties to file a joint motion for preliminary approval.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
