January 3, 2024 Filing 31 REPLY to Response to Motion re #23 MOTION to Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction filed by Bailey Trosclair (Scholet, Savanna)
January 3, 2024 DOCKET ANNOTATION as to # 31 and # 33. Attorney is advised that these documents should have been filed as a Response to Motion, not a Reply, based on the title of the document. DOCKET ANNOTATION as to # 34. L.U.Civ.R. 7(b)(2) requires that all supporting exhibits to a document be denominated by an exhibit letter or number and a meaningful description. Attorney is advised to label each exhibit with a letter/number in future filings. Also, if choosing "exhibit" from the drop-down category box, it is not necessary to type in the word "exhibit" in the description, because that duplicates the description to read "exhibit exhibit" which is incorrect. DOCKET ANNOTATION as to # 36. Incorrect linkage made. The memorandum should be linked to the Motion for Judicial Notice. All related filings to motions (using the "Responses and Replies" category, with the exception of "Response to Order") should be linked back to the original motion. Court staff has made the correction. (JCH)
