The Court hereby STRIKES Defendants’ Memorandum of Points and Authorities in

Support of their Motion for Summary Judgment (“Memorandum”) on the basis that the

18

Any footnotes contained in the Corrected Memorandum shall be no less than 12-point type and

19

shall be double-spaced. Footnotes shall not be used to cite to legal authorities or evidence. All
