UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

CYNTHIA L. CZUCHAJ, individually 

and on behalf of all others similarly 

situated, et aI., 

Plaintiffs, 

vs. 

CONAIR CORPORATION, a Delaware 

corporation, 

Defendant. 

Case No.: 13-cv-1901-BEN (RBB) 

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANT'S 

MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE 

SUR-REPLY 

Before this Court is an Ex Parte Motion for Leave to File Sur-Reply, filed by 

Defendant Conair Corporation. (Docket No. 215.) Defendant contends that Plaintiffs 

raised new arguments and evidence in their reply brief in support of their motion for 

approval of class notice plan. Plaintiffs filed an opposition. (Docket No. 217.) 

"[W]here new evidence is presented in a reply to a motion ... , the district court 

should not consider the new evidence without giving the non-movant an opportunity to 

respond." Provenz v. Miller, 102 F.3d 1478, 1483 (9th Cir. 1996). The Court has 

discretion to either allow a party to file a sur-reply or disregard the new evidence. See 

Johnson v. Wennes, No. 08cv1798, 2009 WL 1161620, at *2 (S.D. Cal. Apr. 28, 2009); 

Lewis v. Gather Ins. Co., No. 09cv252, 2009 WL 3698028, at *1 (S.D. Cal. Nov. 5,
