3. 4.

Defense reply papers would serve to delay disposition of the summary judgment motions; This Court thoroughly reviews, considers and applies the evidence it deems admissible, material and appropriate for summary judgment/adjudication and thus does not rule on objections in a summary judgment context; and

5.

Disobedience of this Court's order is not a "transgression" and warrants prohibition of defense reply papers.

Again, this Court ADMONISHES defendants that it will strike defense reply papers of any kind. IT IS SO ORDERED. October 22, 2009 /s/ Lawrence J. O'Neill UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
