Opinion
Case No. 09-cv-101-JPG.
March 16, 2010
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter comes before the Court on its own initiative for purposes of case management. The Court notes that Defendants' Reply (Doc. 112) as to its Motion for Partial Summary Judgment (Doc. 83) completely disregards Local Rule 7.1(d), which states that "[a]ll briefs shall contain a short, concise statement of the party's position. . . ." The rule goes on to state that reply briefs shall not exceed five double-spaced pages typed in 12-point font. See S.D. Ill. L. R. 7.1(d).
Here, Defendants' brief was obviously not typed in 12-point font, nor is the first page double-spaced. For the foregoing reasons, the Court STRIKES Defendants' Reply (Doc. 112). Defendants shall have up to and including March 19, 2010, to file a reply brief that fully comports with Local Rule 7.1(d).
