ORDER

It is ORDERED as follows:

(1) The motion to strike (doc. no. 60) is denied.

(2) The motion for leave to file one day out of time

(doc. no. 61) is granted.

***

The court, upon plaintiffs’ request, set the date for

filing their response to defendant’s dispositive motions

as January 20, a federal holiday in honor of Rev. Dr.

Martin Luther King. Because this court is closed on

federal holidays and out of respect to the persons and

groups in whose honor many of these holidays are

Case 2:11-cv-00864-MHT-CSC Document 62 Filed 01/23/14 Page 1 of 2
established, the court typically does not require parties

to file documents on federal holidays except in an

emergency. Had the court realized that plaintiffs’

requested filing date was a federal holiday, the court

would have had plaintiffs file their response on the next

appropriate day after the holiday. The court erred in

requiring plaintiffs to file their response on January 20,

a federal holiday.

DONE, this the 23rd day of January, 2014.
