Absent leave of court, no briefing on Defendants’ motion to dismiss is permitted 

beyond the opposition and reply. The Court did not grant Plaintiff leave to file a sur-reply,

and the Court does not desire any further briefing on the motion. Accordingly, 

Defendants’ motion to strike Plaintiff’s sur-reply (ECF No. 27) is HEREBY GRANTED 

and Plaintiff’s sur-reply (ECF No. 26) is STRICKEN from the record.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
