ORDER STRIKING PLAINTIFF’S RESPONSE TO
DEFENDANTS’ ANSWER [267]
On March 30, 2015, plaintiff Lavelle Searcy filed a response to
Defendant’s answer to his complaint. [267]. However, under the Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure, a response to an answer is “allowed” only “if the
court orders one.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 7(a)(7). The Court did not order Searcy
to respond to Defendant’s affirmative defenses. Therefore, the Court
STRIKES Searcy’s response to Defendant’s answer. [267].
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: March 31, 2015
