This is a civil action brought by Plaintiff s Pazuniak Law Office, LLC and Geor ge Pazuniak (collectively, “Pazuniak Law”)

common law libel and tortuous interference with prospective business opportunities. Dr. Arunachalam has answered Pazuniak Law’s complaint and filed counterclaims.
2. Civil Rules 7, 11 and 78

— as well as the Judicial Preferences of this Judicial Officer

— set out specific requirements for the contents and format of motions, briefs and other papers to be filed with the Court.
3. The Notice of Honest Services Fraud and Motion to Stay do not conform to a number of the requirements set out in th ese Civil Rules. For example, the Notice of Honest Services Fraud and Motion to Stay both exceed the page limits and fail to use the appropriate font size set out in Civil Rule 78. Moreover, both documents appear to violate Civil Rule 7(b) by failing to state with particularity the grounds relied upon for relief.
4. Generally, non

- conforming papers are not accepted for filing by the Prothonotary without the need for an Order form the Court.
5. Understanding that Dr. Arunachalam is acting pro se , the Court directed the Prothonotary to accept the Notice of Honest Services Fraud and Motion to Stay.

conforming papers.
7. Absent leave of the Court PRIOR to the filing of non

- conforming papers, the Prothonotary is directed to reject the non

- conforming papers. Upon notice that the paper has been rejected, a party may contact t he Prothonotary to determine why the paper is non

conforming and attempt to either (i) obtain leave of the Court for the filing of a non

- conforming paper or (ii) re

- file the paper in a manner that conforms to the Civil Rules.3

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, for the reasons set forth herein, that the Notice of Honest Services Fraud and the Motion to Stay shall be accepted for filing by the Prothonotary. Dated: February 16, 2017 Wilmington, Delaware
