ORDER AND

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

 Pro se Plaintiff’s Response to Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment is

single spaced, hard to read and violates LRCiv 7.1(b) which requires “all documents shall be

typed double-spaced.” LRCiv 7.1(b) (emphasis added). More significantly, pro se Plaintiff

failed to file a Statement of Facts mandated by LRCiv 56.1(b) when he filed his Response.

Additionally, on May 30, 2008, Defendant filed an Objection, docket # 39, to Plaintiff’s

failure to disclose his trial witnesses and exhibits as ordered in the Court’s October 23, 2007

Scheduling Order and as required by Fed.R.Civ.P 26(a)(3). (docket # 34 at 4)

On the Court’s own motion,

IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Response to Defendant’s Motion for

Summary, docket # 44, is STRICKEN for non-compliance with the Local Rules. Plaintiff

shall re-file his Response with double-spaced lines by 5:00 p.m. on or before Tuesday,

September 16, 2008. The Response shall otherwise also comply with the Local Rules. The

same exhibits Plaintiff filed on August 18, 2008 shall not be re-filed anew. Plaintiff’s refiled Statement of Facts may refer to those exhibits filed on August 18, 2008.

disputed; and (2) any additional facts that establish a genuine issue of material

fact or otherwise preclude judgment in favor of the moving party. Each additional

fact shall be set forth in a separately numbered paragraph and shall refer to a
