Dated: Plaintiff is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis with this civil action pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), and the Federal Torts Claims Act ("FTCA"). Plaintiff filed the complaint initiating this action on June 25, 2002. This action now proceeds on the Second Amended Complaint filed August 29, 2005. On September 8, 2008, defendants The Geo Group, Inc. , Andrews, Akanno, Craig, Minnecci, Noriega, and Nichols filed a motion to dismiss pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6). (Doc. 107.) On January 26, 2009, plaintiff filed an opposition to the motion. (Doc. 119.) On February 9, 2009, defendants filed a reply to the opposition. (Doc. 121.) On March 20, 2009, plaintiff filed a surreply. (Doc. 125.) The Local Rules provide for a motion, an opposition, and a reply. Neither the Local Rules nor the Federal Rules provide the right to file a surreply, and the court neither requested one nor granted a request on the behalf of plaintiff to file one. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff's surreply, filed March 20, 2009, is STRICKEN from the record.
