***DENIED BY ORDER OF Judge Alicemarie H. Stotler*** proposed order garnting Ex parte application for relief from local rule 7-3a 657-1 (pj) (Entered: 07/10/2003)

Judge Alicemarie H. Stotler denied a proposed order that sought ex parte relief from Local Rule 7-3(a). The denial came on July 10, 2003, reflecting the court's refusal to bypass the standard meet-and-confer requirement before filing certain motions.

The local rule mandates that parties must attempt to resolve disputes informally before seeking judicial intervention. The applicant had requested an exception to this rule, presumably to expedite relief or avoid disclosure to the opposing party, but the judge rejected that request.

The case remains active, but no further filings or motions have been publicly recorded since the denial. Without access to the docket or additional filings, the underlying dispute and parties involved remain unclear. The court's decision shows the judiciary's reluctance to grant ex parte relief absent compelling justification.

The ruling enforces procedural discipline, signaling that parties must comply with local rules even when seeking urgent relief. The case awaits further developments, but the denial limits immediate procedural shortcuts.
