Make Sure to Follow The Local Rules Or Risk Having Your Motion Denied

I recently came across an interesting Order from Senior Judge Sam Cummings in Medshare Technologies, Inc. v. Commonwealth Capital Corp. (available here). Defendants filed a Motion to Strike, for More Definite Statement, and Motion to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim. Seven days later, the Court denied the motion because it lacked a certificate of conference and an appendix. This is a good example showing the importance of being familiar with the Court’s Local Rules.
