ORDER

On October 14, 2005, the Court entered an Order dismissing this case. See Doc. #14.

The basis for t he dismissal was Plaintiffs’ failure, after warning from the Court, to respond

to Defendants’ motions to dismiss. (Docs. ##3, 4, 12). 

On the same day as the Court’s Order – Oct ober 14, 2005 – Plaintiffs filed a Motion

to Strike and a Motion for Emergency Hearing. See Docs. ##16, 17. Plaintiffs asked the

Court to strike Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss filed on April 27, 2005 (Doc. #4). To the

extent Plaintiffs’ motion is viewed as a response to Defendants’ motions to dismiss, it is

unt imely . T he Court granted Plaintiffs an extension until August 23, 2005, to respond to

Defendants’ motions. See Doc. #13. The Motion to Strike was filed almost six weeks after

this deadline and is clearly untimely. Moreover, the Court has reviewed the M ot ion to

Strike and finds in it no basis for denying Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss. 

Plaintiff James Martinez has also filed a Motion for Oral Argument and Motion for

Certified Interpreter. See Doc. #18. The motion asks the Court to provide various

programs t o t he p ublic, including certified interpreters, the Reading Pen II, the Kurzwell

3000 and Dragon Naturally Speaking Program. The motion also asks the Court to place its

orders on tape and to provide them in large print. Because the Court has dismissed this

action, this motion shall be denied as moot.

3. Plaintiff Martinez’s Motion for Oral Argument and Motion for Certified
