CROSS-MOTION FOR

SUMMARY JUDGMENT

AND SETTING

BRIEFING SCHEDULE

Plaintiffs Uzoma Gogo Nwakuche and Kego Egbuonu and Defendants

Regnery Publishing, Inc., and Kenneth R. Timmerman have filed

separate and concurrent motions for summary judgment. Such

simultaneous filings violate the Court's standing orders, which

state that cross or counter-motions "shall be contained within the

opposition to any motion for summary judgment and shall conform

with Civil L.R. 7-3." Accordingly, the Court sua sponte strikes

Plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment and sets the following

revised briefing schedule. Plaintiffs shall file a combined

opposition and cross-motion on February 17, 2006; Defendants'

opposition and reply will be due on February 24; and Plaintiffs'

reply will be due on March 3. The matters will be heard on March

17, 2006; the March 10 hearing date is hereby VACATED. 

Evidentiary and procedural objections should also be contained
