ORDER

Plaintiff seeks judicial review of the administrative decision denying her application

for social security benefits. Dkt. #1. Plaintiff has filed both an opening brief (Dkt. #13) and

a motion for summary judgment (Dkt. #14). The Court’s local rules provide for the filing

of opening and answering briefs “rather than the filing of motions/cross-motions for

summary judgment.” LRCiv 16.1(a)-(b); see Dkt. #6 ¶¶ 1-2. The opening brief “must set

forth all errors which Plaintiff contends entitle [her] to relief.” LRCiv 16.1(a).

Because Plaintiff has filed a lengthy opening brief addressing alleged errors on the

part of the ALJ (Dkt. #13), the Court will deny Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment

(Dkt. #14) as moot and as improper under Local Rule 16.1.

IT IS ORDERED:

1. Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment (Dkt. #14) is denied.

15, 17) in a separate order.
