UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

MARLESSA KNOLES,

Plaintiff,

v.

TEVA PHARMACEUTICALS USA, INC., 

et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 17-cv-06580-BLF 

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO 

STRIKE PLAINTIFF’S UNTIMELY 

OPPOSITION; AND VACATING 

HEARING ON MOTION TO STRIKE

[Re: ECF 55]

Defendants’ motion to strike Plaintiff’s untimely opposition to Defendants’ motion for 

judgment on the pleadings is DENIED, and the January 16, 2019 hearing on the motion to strike is 

VACATED. The Court accepts Plaintiff’s representation that the late filing of the opposition, 

approximately two weeks after its due date, was due to a technical problem. Defendants have not 

demonstrated prejudice from the late filing. Defendants’ motion to strike contains substantive 

arguments addressing Plaintiff’s late-filed opposition and it is accepted by the Court as 

Defendants’ reply on their motion for judgment on the pleadings.

The January 16, 2019 hearing on Defendants’ motion for judgment on the pleadings 

REMAINS on calendar.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 11, 2019
