ORDER ON PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR EXTENSION TO FILE SURREPLY
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff Shingairai Feresu’s (“Ms. Feresu”) Motion to
Request Extension of Time (Filing No. 62), which the Court treats as a request for additional time
to file a surreply to Defendant the Trustees of Indiana University’s (“IU”) Motion for Summary
Judgment.
The Court notes that Local Rule 56-1(d) explains the provisions for filing a surreply:
A party opposing a summary judgment motion may file a surreply brief only if the
movant cites new evidence in the reply or objects to the admissibility of the
evidence cited in the response. The surreply must be filed within 7 days after the
movant serves the reply and must be limited to the new evidence and objections.
The Court GRANTS Ms. Feresu’s request to file a surreply and her request for additional
time to file the surreply. The Court provides the following guidance for Ms. Feresu’s surreply. The
surreply must be limited to responding to any new evidence or the objections raised in IU’s Reply
Brief at Filing No. 61. The surreply should be limited only to the claims pending before the
Court—claims under the Equal Pay Act and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for
employment discrimination based on race, nationality, and sex. The surreply should not discuss
claims that are not before the Court such as claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act and
Equal Rights Under Law, 42 U.S.C. § 1981, or for sexual orientation discrimination. The surreply

should be no more than twenty (20) pages in length and must be filed no later than Monday,
December 19, 2016. The parties should expect no further extensions of time.
SO ORDERED.
