JARIAN MADISON v. PALA INTERSTATE, LLC
RULING AND ORDER
Before the Court is Plaintiffs Motion to Strike Defendant's Memorandum in Support of Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 28). filed by Jarian Madison, seeking an order from this Court striking Defendant's Memorandum in Support of its Motion for Summary Judgment on the grounds that it failed to conform with the thirty-page limit outlined in Local Rule 7.5.
It is well-established that district court judges have broad discretion to manage (heir dockets. See Elgin v. Dep't of Treasury, 132 S. Ct. 2126, 2147 (2012); Sims v. ANR Freight Sys., Inc., 77 F.3d 846, 849 (5th Cir. 1996). On this ground, the Court will DENY the Plaintiff's motion.
The Court notes, however, that strictly speaking, Defendant's brief exceeds the thirty-page limit by two pages. Counsel for the Defendant is urged to comply with all Local Rules in the future, or request leave of the Court for noncompliance.
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, this 18th day of December, 2014.
