ORDER
Magistrate Judge Craig B. Shaffer
This civil action comes before the court on "Plaintiff['s] Response to Defendants['] Reply in Support of Motion for Summary Judgment," filed by Mr. Adams on March 4, 2013. (See Doc. # 53). Pursuant to the Order Referring Case dated September 13, 2012 (Doc. # 15) and the memoranda dated November 5, 2012 (Doc. # 24), November 20, 2012 (Doc. # 29), and January 30, 2013 (Doc. # 48), all pending motions have been referred to the Magistrate Judge.
Mr. Adams's 18-page submission constitutes a surreply to Defendants' Reply to their Motion for Summary Judgment. (See Docs. # 47, # 52).

The court is not required to accept any further briefing on the pending Motions for Summary Judgment. The Motions are fully briefed and the court will issue a Recommendation in due course.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that "Plaintiff Response to Defendants['] Reply in Support of Motion for Summary Judgment" filed by Mr. Adams on March 4, 2013 (Doc. # 53) is STRICKEN. Briefing on the pending Motions for Summary Judgment (Docs. # 23 and # 47) is CLOSED. The court will not accept and may strike any further briefs on these Motions.
DATED at Denver, Colorado, this 4th day of March, 2013.
