On May 18, 2012, Plaintiff filed a motion for reconsideration of this Court’s order granting

15

in part and denying in part Defendant Madrigal’s Motion to Dismiss and noticed it for hearing on

16

July 3, 2012. Dkt. No. 54. This motion is in violation of Local Rule 7-9, which provides that “[n]o

17

party may notice a motion for reconsideration without first obtaining leave of Court to file the

18

motion” and sets forth the proper procedure for seeking leave to file a motion for reconsideration.

19

Therefore, Plaintiff’s motion is stricken without prejudice to refiling if Plaintiff receives leave of

20

Court after complying with the rule. Defendants need not respond to this motion and the hearing

21

noticed for July 3, 2012 is vacated. Plaintiff must comply with Local Rule 7-9 and properly seek

22

leave to file a motion for reconsideration before the Court will consider any such request.
