ORDER STRIKING
DEFENDANT’S ANSWER
TO SEC REPLY

v.
JOSEPH S. AMUNDSEN,
Defendant.
/

16
17

Pro se defendant Joseph Amundsen has filed an “answer to SEC reply to defendant’s

18

answer to find defendant in civil contempt” (Dkt. No. 28). Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-3(d)

19

“once a reply is filed, no additional memoranda, papers or letters may be filed without prior

20

Court approval” unless new evidence has been submitted in the reply brief or the party seeks to

21

file a statement of recent decision. Plaintiff filed its reply on November 22, 2011. The recent

22

filing by defendant appears to be a summary of defendant’s response brief and does not fall

23

within one of the exceptions under Rule 7-3(d). Defendant did not obtain prior approval to make

24

this filing. Thus, defendant’s answer to the SEC reply is STRICKEN.
