The pre-motion conference may be conducted by telephone with the permission of the Court. i. To arrange a pre-motion conference, the moving party shall submit a letter not to exceed three (3) pages in length setting forth the basis of the anticipated motion. All parties so served must serve and file a letter response, not to exceed three (3) pages within seven (7) days of the service of the notification letter.
