The Local Rules provide for 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. Plaintiff’s “Response to Defendants Reply” filed March 31, 2005, is STRICKEN

from the record. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
