No. 4:10CV01762 SWW

Order
Before the Court is plaintiff’s motion to strike as untimely the reply defendants filed to
plaintiffs’ response to defendants’ motion to dismiss. Neither the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure nor the Local Rules address replies to responses to motions to dismiss. The Court
considers a motion to dismiss ripe for determination when a timely response is filed and will not
delay a ruling to wait for a reply unless a party has moved for and been granted leave to file a
reply.
The motion to strike [docket entry 13] is denied. Plaintiff is granted fourteen [14] days
from the date of entry of this Order to file a response to the reply. No further pleadings as to the
motion to dismiss will be allowed without leave of Court.
DATED this 28th day of July, 2011.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
