Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:05-CV-00088-OWW-SMS-P

ORDER STRIKING REPLY TO ANSWER

AND ACCOMPANYING DECLARATION

(Docs. 39 and 40)

Plaintiff Vance Blaine (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis

in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Defendants filed an answer to plaintiff’s

amended complaint on October 3, 2006. On October 30, 2006, plaintiff filed a reply to the answer

and a declaration. 

Neither the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure nor the Local Rules provides for a reply to an

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

not order a reply to the answer.

Accordingly, plaintiff’s reply to defendant’s answer and accompanying declaration, filed

October 30, 2006, are HEREBY ORDERED STRICKEN from the record.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
