BRADLEY STOBAR, Plaintiff, v. THE HOME DEPOT, et. al., Defendants.
ORDER STRIKING PLAINTIFF'S RESPONSE , REPLY TO MOTION TO FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT (DKT. 20, 27)
On March 2, 2016, Plaintiff filed a response to the pending motion for summary judgment. (Dkt. 20). The response failed to comply with this Court's practice guidelines. Under Practice Guideline F, a Rule 56 motion must contain a "statement of material facts" consisting of numbered paragraphs supported by specific citations to the record. The party opposing summary judgment must respond with a "counter-statement of material facts," consisting of numbered paragraphs that correspond to the moving party's statement of material facts. If any of the moving party's proffered facts are contested, the non-moving party must explain the basis for the factual disagreement, referencing and citing record evidence. The non-moving party may then include additional numbered paragraphs as necessary.
Accordingly, Plaintiff's response to the motion for summary judgment is STRICKEN. Plaintiff must re-file his response by April 15, 2016. Any reply shall be filed by April 22, 2016. The parties are also reminded that they require leave of Court to file any sur-replies. Accordingly, Plaintiff's sur-reply (Dkt. 27) is also STRICKEN.
For the reasons explained above, the Court STRIKES Plaintiff's response (Dkt. 20) and sur-reply (Dkt. 27).
SO ORDERED. Dated: April 13, 2016
