OPINION This matter is before the court on Defendant Vizio, Inc.'s (Vizio) motions for summary judgment. On October 21, 2009, the court indicated that dispositive motions needed to be filed by June 25, 2010. On June 25, 2010, Vizio filed six separate summary judgment motions relating to issues of invalidity, noninfringement, damages, standing, and unenforceability. We note that Vizio has also presented the motion related to standing, in the alterative, as a motion to dismiss. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56 does not provide a party with the opportunity to file a separate motion for summary judgment for each argument a party desires to present. Fed. R. Civ. P. 56; See also, e.g., BPI Energy, Inc. v. IEC (Montgomery), LLC, 2009 WL 3518154, at *1 (S.D. Ill. 2009)(concluding that local rule on page limitations was an indication that a party is limited to one motion for summary judgment). Vizio never sought leave from the court to file six separate summary judgment motions. All pending motions for summary judgment are stricken and the current briefing schedule is stricken. The parties will be granted leave to file one memorandum in support of a motion for summary judgment, and the court will extend the page limit for the memorandums and
