July 19, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 27 ORDER: The Court has reviewed Plaintiff's remaining July 18, 2023 filings: two Motions to Strike (R. Docs. 23 and 24), which appear to be identical. But these filings are actually Motions for Leave to Amend; they are just incorrectly identified as Motions to Strike (R. Docs. 23 and 24) on the docket. Because they are identical, the Court ORDERS that Plaintiff's initial Motion to Strike (R. Doc. 23), filed on July 18, 2023, be STRUCK from the record by the Clerk of Court. A separate Order will issue addressing the remaining filing (R. Doc. 24). Signed by Magistrate Judge Scott D. Johnson on 7/19/2023. (This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY.

First, the #25 Motion to Strike, which asks the Court to strike the initial Motion for Leave to Amend (R. Doc. 22) because of a mistaken representation (R.
