ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR

CONSIDERATION OF BRIEF, OR IN THE

ALTERNATIVE, FOR A CONTINUANCE OF

THE HEARING

(Doc. 68)

Plaintiff filed a brief in support of his position at the telephonic hearing held on June 23,

2006, at 9:30 a.m. and requested that the court consider the brief or in the alternative, continue the

hearing until July 14, 2006, at 9:30 a.m. The brief was dated June 21, 2006, and was intended by

plaintiff to be considered by the court prior to the hearing, but was not received and filed until June

26, 2006.

The brief was not received in time for the hearing and the hearing was held as scheduled.

Further, the hearing was held to address motions filed by plaintiff which were deemed submitted

prior to the hearing. Local Rule 78-230(m). Neither party was invited to submit further briefing for

consideration at the hearing. For those reasons, plaintiff’s request for consideration of the brief or

a continuance of the hearing is HEREBY DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
