IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THE HERMETIC ORDER OF THE GOLDEN

DAWN, INC.,

Plaintiff/Counter-Defendant,

 v.

DAVID JOHN GRIFFIN,

Defendant/Counter-Plaintiff.

 /

No. C 05-00432 JSW

ORDER RE PLAINTIFF’S

MOTION TO STRIKE GRIFFIN

DECLARATION AND

DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR

ADMINISTRATIVE RELIEF

On October 26, 2006, in connection with pending motions for summary judgment,

Plaintiff filed a motion to strike the declaration of David John Griffin, submitted in support of

Defendant’s motion for summary judgment. In response, Griffin has submitted a motion for

administrative relief, in which he asks the Court to be heard on Defendant’s motion to strike, to

maintain the current briefing schedule, and to not hear Plaintiff’s motion on the ground that it

was not noticed for hearing on a date within the time for filing set forth in the Northern District

Civil Local Rules. 

The Court finds that a response from Plaintiff with respect to Defendant’s administrative

motion is not required. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AS FOLLOWS:

1. The Court will address the motion to strike the Griffin declaration in conjunction

with the pending motions for summary judgment. Defendant may submit any

argument in opposition to that motion with his reply supporting his motion for

summary judgment. Such opposition, however, shall not exceed 5 pages. A

2. If Defendant has evidentiary objections to evidence submitted by Plaintiff in

support of its motion for summary judgment, he shall submit a motion to strike

and/or objections with his opposition to that motion, such motion to strike not to

exceed five pages. Plaintiff may file an opposition to that motion with its reply,

such opposition not to exceed five pages. A reply from Defendant from any

motion to strike filed by Plaintiff shall not be permitted, unless requested by the

Court.

3. All filing deadlines with respect to the pending motions remain unchanged and

the hearing remains set for December 1, 2006 at 9:00 a.m.

4. Defendant’s request to deny Plaintiff’s motion on the grounds that Plaintiff did

not file the motion in a timely fashion is DENIED. Plaintiff filed its motion on

October 13, 2006, and noticed it for hearing on November 17, 2006, which is

within the 35 days contemplated by the Local Rules.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
