Reviewer note: Document sha256: 677be6b8fc986cbdbcb7586d4473bd019bd529810f5e42d4fede76fb97a88a66 (67925 bytes). BenchPath harvested this circuit itself because no research corpus existed for it. Extraction is conservative: mandatory-language sentences only, so this rule is a faithful subset of the order, never a summary of it.

CV-E layers a second conferral on top of Rule 1.202: certify conferral before filing the motion (Exhibit A) and again before scheduling it for hearing (Exhibit B).
