All Greek to me, but here it is. Looks like there was a failure to confer with opposing party, maybe?

(g) Before filing any motion in a civil case, except a motion for injunctive relief, for
judgment on the pleadings, for summary judgment, to dismiss or to permit maintenance of a class
action, to dismiss for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, or to involuntarily
dismiss an action, the moving party shall confer with counsel for the opposing party in a good faith
effort to resolve the issues raised by the motion, and shall file with the motion a statement (1)
certifying that the moving counsel has conferred with opposing counsel and (2) stating whether
counsel agree on the resolution of the motion
. A certification to the effect that opposing counsel
was unavailable for a conference before filing a motion is insufficient to satisfy the parties’ obligation
to confer. The moving party retains the duty to contact opposing counsel expeditiously after filing12/1/09 3 - 2
and to supplement the motion promptly with a statement certifying whether or to what extent the
parties have resolved the issue(s) presented in the motion. If the interested parties agree to all or
part of the relief sought in any motion, the caption of the motion shall include the word “unopposed,”
“agreed,” or “stipulated” or otherwise succinctly inform the reader that, as to all or part of the
requested relief, no opposition exists.
