Before contacting the court regarding a discovery dispute, counsel must consult with one another, in good faith, either in-person or by telephone. If the dispute cannot be resolved other than through motion practice, there must be a supporting affidavit or affirmation attesting to counsel having conducted an in-person or telephonic conference, setting forth the date and time, persons participating, and the length of time of the conference.
