On February 8, 2007, the Court ordered stricken Plaintiff’s

Opposition to Motion for Fees, Request to Strike, and Declarations of

Robert P. Biegler and Raymond Belliveau (collectively, “Opposition”)

because Plaintiff filed it in the wrong civil action. (Feb. 8, 2007,

Order at 1.) On February 14, 2007, Plaintiff’s counsel submitted a

letter requesting “that the matter be continued so that [he could] refile the same Opposition under the correct case number.” (Feb. 14,

2007 Req. at 1.) Defendants oppose this request and argue the Court

should deny Plaintiff’s request for a continuance. (Defs.’ Opp’n to

Feb. 14, 2007 Req. at 2.)

Plaintiff’s counsel asserts the filing “was an inadvertent

clerical error” and further contends that the Opposition “was also

filed under the appropriate case number . . . Thus, the Opposition,

despite the clerical error, appears to have been filed in the correct

and timely manner.” (Id.) Plaintiff’s counsel has not filed the

Opposition in the correct civil action. But Plaintiff will be

provided an opportunity to file his Opposition in the correct action. 

Plaintiff has until February 20, 2007 to correctly file the

Opposition. Failure to file by this deadline will be deemed a waiver

of Plaintiff’s right to file an Opposition.

The hearing scheduled for February 20, 2007 is continued to

March 19, 2007. Defendants will have until February 27, 2007 to file

a Reply to the Opposition.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 15, 2007
