The Local Rules provide for a motion, an opposition, and a reply. Neither the Local Rules nor

the Federal Rules provide the right to file a surreply, and the court neither requested one nor granted a

request on the behalf of Plaintiff to file one. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s surreply, filed July 1, 2010, shall

be stricken from the record. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff's surreply, filed July 1, 2010, is

STRICKEN from the court's record.

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: July 12, 2010 /s/ Gary S. Austin
