ORDER: Given that motions pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12 are discouraged if the pleading defect is curable by amendment, IT HEREBY IS ORDERED that the parties must meet and confer prior to the filing of any Rule 12 motion, including motions for judgment on the pleadings under Rule 12(c), to determine whether the motion can be avoided. The duty to meet and confer extends to parties appearing pro se. Consistent with the foregoing, Rule 12 motions must be accompanied by a certificate of the movant stating that the moving party has made a good faith effort to confer with the nonmovant(s) to determine whether the identified pleading deficiencies properly may be cured by amendment. Rule 12 motions that do not contain the required certification will be summarily denied. Signed by Magistrate Judge Maureen P. Kelly on 3/25/2025. (mpg)
