United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ZELTIQ AESTHETICS, INC.,

Plaintiff,

v.

BTL INDUSTRIES, INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 13-cv-05473-JCS 

ORDER GRANTING LEAVE TO FILE 

SURREPLY

Plaintiff has moved for partial summary judgment. Defendants object to new arguments 

in, and evidence submitted with, Plaintiff’s Reply, and ask the Court to disregard this material. 

See dkt. 62. The Federal Rules provide that an “affidavit supporting a motion must be served with 

the motion,” Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(c)(2), and district courts have discretion to disregard untimely 

evidence and arguments. See Lujan v. Nat’l Wildlife Fed’n, 497 U.S. 871, 898 (1990); Zamani v. 

Carnes, 491 F.3d 990, 997 (9th Cir. 2007). The Court declines to exercise that discretion in this 

case, and instead grants Defendants leave to file a surreply addressing Plaintiff’s new evidence 

and arguments, not to exceed five double-spaced pages, no later than Friday, March 6, 2015. 

Defendants may also file declarations in support of their surreply.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 3, 2015
