April 3, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 51 MINUTE ORDER (text only) authorized by Judge Lauren King. Docket Numbers #42 , #45 , #47 , and #50 violate the Local Civil Rules. Effective February 1, 2023, motions and briefs filed in the Western District of Washington are subject to word counts. See LCR 7(e). To enforce this limitation, Local Civil Rule 7(e)(6) requires the signature block to include "a certification of the signer as to the number of words, substantially as follows: 'I certify that this memorandum contains __ words, in compliance with the Local Civil Rules.'" Each of the aforementioned filings lacks the requisite certification. Accordingly, no later than April 7, 2023, the parties must file certifications of word count for Docket Numbers #42 , #45 , #47 , and #50 , and identify any overlength portions of those briefs. The Court will not consider any overlength portions. Should either party fail to file timely certifications, the Court will strike the offending briefs in their entirety. (NAW)
