UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JUVENTINO RODARTE,

Plaintiff,

v.

ALAMEDA COUNTY, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-00468-KAW 

ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO 

FILE SUR-REPLY

On June 26, 2015, Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment, or in the alternative, 

partial summary judgment. The motion has been fully briefed, and having conducted a 

preliminary review of the parties' papers, the Court notes that Defendants raised two issues, for the 

first time, in their reply. Instead of considering these issues waived, the Court orders Plaintiff to 

submit a sur-reply of no more than eight pages that responds to the relevant arguments in 

Defendants' reply. 

First, Plaintiff shall address why the Court should not strike, from Plaintiff's opposition,

any reference or evidence that contradicts the judicial admissions found in paragraphs 18 and 19 

of the complaint. (Compl. ¶ 18 ("Rodarte saw service dog's Zina's face and the knee of a 

person."); id. ¶ 19 ("Rodarte became paralyzed and frozen with fear as he concentrated on service 

dog Zina's face).) Second, Plaintiff shall address why his Bane Act claim can survive even though 

he claims to have been unresponsive and sleeping in front of the door to his apartment when 

Defendants deployed the service dog.
