PLAINTIFFS

v.

BOLSTER & JEFFRIES
HEALTH CARE GROUP, LLC
d/b/a HEARTHSTONE PLACE

DEFENDANT
ORDER

In response to Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment, Plaintiffs filed a 47-page
response and 7 exhibits, including a 28-page “exhibit” containing additional legal arguments
opposing the motion. (Pls.’ Resp. to Mot. for Summ. J., DN 94). The Joint Local Rules of Civil
Practice for the United States District Courts for the Eastern and Western Districts of Kentucky
provide, in relevant part that “[s]upporting and opposing memoranda may not exceed forty (40)
pages without leave of Court.” LR 7.1(d). Plaintiffs’ response utterly fails to comply with LR
7.1(d). In addition, the filing of the 28-page exhibit with additional arguments appears to be a
direct attempt to circumvent court rules. Plaintiffs did not seek leave from the Court prior to
exceeding the page limitation of LR 7.1(d).
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follow:
1.

Plaintiff’s Response to Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment (DN 94) is

STRICKEN in its entirety.

2.

Plaintiff shall have 14 days from the entry of this order to file a response that

strictly observes and complies with all Joint Local Rules of Civil Practice for the United States
District Courts for the Eastern and Western Districts of Kentucky—including LR 7.1(d).
3.

Defendant shall have 14 days from the filing of Plaintiff’s response to file an

amended reply.
