record. 

The Local Rules authorize the filing of a motion, an opposition, and a reply. Local Rule

78-230(c), (d). However, neither the Local Rules nor the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure

provide the right to file a surreply, and the Court neither requested one from Plaintiff or granted

him permission to file one. See, Rule 56, Fed.R.Civ.P. 

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS: 

1. The Motion to Strike the Surreply is GRANTED; and 

2. The Surreply is STRICKEN from the record. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
