NOT FOR CITATION

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

DAWN JORGENSEN,

Plaintiff,

 v.

JOANNE BARNHART, Commissioner of

Social Security Administration, 

Defendant.

 /

No. C05-01879 HRL

ORDER ON DEFENDANT’S LEAVE TO

FILE SUR-REPLY BRIEF AND

PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO STRIKE

Re: Docket Nos. 24, 25, 27

Plaintiff Dawn Jorgenson previously sought judicial review of a decision of the

Commissioner of Social Security. This court remanded that matter for further administrative

proceedings. [Docket No. 18]. Jorgenson then petitioned the court for an award of attorney fees

and costs under the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA), 28 U.S.C. §2412. 

In briefing the attorney fees issue, Defendant filed a Sur-reply brief without first seeking

leave of the court as required by Civil Local Rule 7-3.1 Plaintiff moved to strike the brief. 

Thereafter, Plaintiff filed a Notice of Additional Authority [Docket No. 29] and an untimely

declaration of counsel pertaining to attorney’s fees [Docket No. 28].

Because the court finds good cause to consider all matters presented to the court thus

far, Defendant’s Motion for Leave to file a Sur-Reply Brief is GRANTED and Plaintiff’s

corresponding Motion to Strike is DENIED. 

The petition for attorney’s fees is HEREBY SUBMITTED. Accordingly, briefing is

closed on this matter. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
