ORDER STRIKING PLAINTIFF’S 

RESPONSE TO DEFENDANTS’ ANSWER

(Document 39)

Plaintiff Todd Kinnamon, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed 

this civil rights action on August 15, 2012. Defendants filed their answer on April 7, 2014. 

On April 28, 2014, Plaintiff filed his “answer” to Defendants’ answer. Neither the 

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure nor the Local Rules provides for a response to an answer, 

absent an order from the Court requiring one. Fed. R. Civ. P. 7(a)(7). In this case, the Court did 

not order a response to the answer.

Accordingly, Plaintiff’s response to Defendants’ answer, filed April 28, 2014, is 

HEREBY ORDERED STRICKEN from the record.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 8, 2014 /s/ Dennis L. Beck
