The Court has received and reviewed the Movant’s Motion to Strike and Request 

of Sanctions (Docket Entry No. 441, the “Motion”).2

 The Motion is hereby is denied. The Court 

compared the version of the joint status report that was attached to the Motion (Docket Entry No. 

441-1) against the version of the joint status report that was previously filed on CM/ECF (Docket 

Entry No. 440.) The differences between the two versions of the document are not material and 

provide no proper basis for the relief requested by the Movant. The Court will consider both 

versions of the Movant’s portions of the joint report in deciding the underlying motion. This 

Order resolves docket entry no. 441 in Case No. 17-3567. 

SO ORDERED. 

Dated: May 24, 2018
