ASHLEY BROCK FARMER PLAINTIFF v. GREENWOOD TOURISM COMMISSION, d/b/a Greenwood Convention and Visitors Bureau; and CITY OF GREENWOOD, MISSISSIPPI DEFENDANTS
ORDER
DEBRA M. BROWN UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On December 2, 2022, the Greenwood Tourism Commission filed a motion for summary judgment on all of Ashley Brock Farmer's claims against it. Doc. #117. In accordance with the Local Rules, the Commission filed a supporting memorandum brief, which is twenty-five pages long, excluding the certificate of service. Doc. #120. After Farmer responded, the Commission filed a rebuttal memorandum, containing twelve substantive pages. Doc. #131.
These filings together violate Local Rule 7(b)(5), which provides that a “[m]ovant's original and rebuttal memorandum briefs together may not exceed a total of thirty-five pages.” Accordingly, the Commission's rebuttal memorandum [131] is STRICKEN. Within seven (7) days of this order, the Commission may refile its rebuttal memorandum in accordance with the Local Rules.
No additional arguments may be included in the refiled memorandum.
SO ORDERED.
