June 6, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 7 ORDER: Plaintiffs' #6 Motion to Substitute Main Document is GRANTED, and the Clerk will substitute the corrected Exhibit List (R. Doc. 6-2) in place of the original (R. Doc. 5); all attachments remain unchanged. Though the request here is easily discerned and made plain in the Clerk's entry of the instant Motion, the Court notes that Plaintiffs' Motion does not actually identify which document is to be substituted, as each docket entry has a "main document". In the future, Plaintiffs should specify documents with their ECF numbers. Signed by Magistrate Judge Scott D. Johnson on 6/6/2023. (This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY.
