UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

NORMAN IVORY, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

R. MIRANDA, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:12-cv-2902 WBS AC P 

ORDER 

 Defendant Miranda filed an answer to plaintiff’s Eighth Amendment claim, the remaining 

claim of the first amended complaint. See ECF Nos. 33, 34. Thereafter, plaintiff filed what he 

termed a “response” to the answer. ECF No. 36. Defendant Miranda has moved to strike that 

response. ECF No. 37. 

Rule 7(a)((7) permits a reply to an answer “if the court orders one ...” This court has not 

ordered a reply to the answer and does not find one to be necessary or appropriate in this instance. 

Accordingly IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that defendant’s motion to strike plaintiff’s reply 

to the answer (ECF No. 37) is granted. 

DATED: July 1, 2014
