ORDER REGARDING THE

PARTIES’ EX PARTE

COMMUNICATIONS

On April 5, 2010, Defendant Anytime Fitness (“Defendant”) submitted a letter to the

court requesting that the court schedule an evidentiary hearing in connection with Defendant’s

“anticipated motion for a preliminary injunction.” On April 7, 2010, Plaintiff Terry Delamater

(“Plaintiff”) submitted a letter in response to Defendant’s April 5 letter, requesting that the court

refrain from hearing any arguments or motions related to preliminary injunctions until the court

has ruled on the parties’ cross-motions for summary judgment. 

Defendant, however, has not filed a formal motion for a preliminary injunction in

accordance with Local Rule 231. Therefore, the only pending motions before the court are the 1

parties’ cross-motions for summary judgment. The court only acts upon properly filed pleadings

and not ex parte communications. The parties are admonished that correspondence to the court

designed as motions are inappropriate and any further ex parte communications will not be

considered by the court. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 13, 2010 /s/ Anthony W. Ishii 

0m8i78 CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

Defendant’s reference to a motion for preliminary injunction embedded within its reply 1

in a footnote is wholly insufficient to comply with L.R. 231. See Doc. No. 38 at page 19.
