ORDER AFFORDING PLAINTIFF

OPPORTUNITY TO FILE SURREPLY

Before the Court is the motion for summary judgment filed November 7, 2005 by

defendants United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”), and DOJ Office of Professional

Responsibility (“OPR”). Plaintiff James R. Odle (“Odle”) objects to the Supplemental

Declaration of Dale K. Hall (“Hall Supplemental Declaration”), filed in connection with

defendants’ reply, on the ground that it includes new evidence that should have been

included in defendants’ initial moving papers. Although the Court agrees that the Hall

Supplemental Declaration contains new evidence, the Court, rather than declining to

consider such evidence, will afford Odle an opportunity to respond to it.

Accordingly, no later than March 7, 2006, plaintiff may file a surreply of no more than

5 pages in length, addressing the new evidence contained in the Hall Supplemental

Declaration. The March 3, 2006 hearing on defendants’ motion for summary judgment is
