December 6, 2023 Opinion or Order TEXT ONLY ORDER striking Defendant Nancy Kees' combined Motion #6 to Dismiss and Supporting Memorandum, and deeming timely Kees' Motion #7 to Dismiss and Memorandum #8 . After the Clerk entered a Docket Annotation directing Kees to file her supporting Memorandum separately in accordance with the Court's Administrative Procedures for Electronic Case Filing, she filed a second Motion #7 to Dismiss and separate Memorandum #8 .

See Mot. #6 ; Mot. #7 ; Mem. #9 ; L.U. Civ. R. 7(b)(2)(B). Kees' first Motion #6 is therefore stricken, and the Court will deem her second Motion #7 and Memorandum #8 timely filed.
