March 21, 2024 Filing 10 Letter Response to Answer by Andy Kuffuor-Afriyie (Elo, Elliot)
March 21, 2024 Opinion or Order ORDER striking Plaintiff's #10 response to Defendants' answer. There is no such thing as a "response" to an answer under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. If Plaintiff intended his filing to be a reply to Defendants' answer, that filing was improper because a plaintiff may not file a reply to a defendant's answer without court permission. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 7(a)(7). If Plaintiff intended his filing to be a motion to strike Defendants' affirmative defenses, that filing was improper because Section III.B of the undersigned judge's Chambers Practices (available on the Court's website at https://www.nyed.uscourts.gov/pub/rules/KAM-MLR.pdf) requires a pre-motion conference before the filing of such a motion. If Plaintiff is considering seeking such a conference, the Court reminds Plaintiff that "[m]otions to strike affirmative defenses are generally disfavored." See Sunrise One, LLC v. Harleysville Ins. Co. of N.Y., 293 F. Supp. 3d 317, 335 (E.D.N.Y. 2018) (quoting Emmpresa Cubana Del Tabaco v. Culbro Corp., 213 F.R.D. 151, 154-55 (S.D.N.Y. 2003)). Ordered by Judge Kiyo A. Matsumoto on 3/21/2024.
