Date Filed Document Text
August 25, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 14 ORDER DENYING #13 Motion to Strike #12 Reply in Support of Plaintiffs' Motion for Remand. While Local Rule 7.1(c) states that "[r]eply briefs are not favored and should be filed only in exceptional circumstances[,]" generally speaking, a motion to strike a reply is disfavored just as much, if not more, than the reply itself. Defendants' motion to strike does not serve to refine the issues or aid in a more expeditious resolution of the case; it only generates another round of briefing that the Court must read and address before it can reach the motion to remand. The Court is cognizant of Local Rule 7.1(c) and capable of recognizing and disregarding an unwarranted reply brief, or inappropriate arguments therein, (and will do so here, if appropriate, when it issues an order on the motion to remand) without additional briefing by the parties. Additionally, Defendant's request to file a sur-reply is DENIED. Signed by Magistrate Judge Mark A. Beatty on 8/25/2023. (klh2)THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED.
