UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION

JESSE R. ENJAIAN,
Plaintiff,
Case No. 13-CV-13907-DT

v.
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN et al.,
Defendants.
/

ORDER STRIKING IMPROPER FILINGS
Before the court are three pending motions: a motion filed by pro se Plaintiff
Jesse R. Enjaian, and two motions to dismiss filed by separate Defendants. These
motions will be resolved in due time. In addition to these motions and the
accompanying responses, Plaintiff has filed a series of documents entitled “Judicial
Notice,” in which he purports to ask that the court take judicial notice of various types of
authority in support of his motion or response briefs. These documents are not allowed
under the local rules and will be stricken as improvidently filed. The local rules allow for
a motion, response, and optional reply brief, and all these documents must comply with
certain formatting and procedural requirements. See E.D. Mich. LR 7.1. There is no
provision under the local rules which allows a party to file a repeated documents
supplementing his brief, particularly when the filings–as here–do not add any additional
argument but ask the court to look to general areas of law (such as the Michigan
Constitution, or the Elliot-Larsen Civil Rights Act). Plaintiff must contain all of his
citations to legal authority and exhibits in one brief in support or opposition to a motion.

Any additional documents will not be allowed and will be stricken by the court.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff’s various documents entitled “Judicial Notice” [Dkt.
## 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 27, 28, 29] are STRICKEN from the court's docket.
