ORDER to Strike 16 Response to Motion filed by Daniel ERICKSEN. Response due 5/14/15. Signed by District Judge George Caram Steeh. (MBea)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
DANIEL ERICKSEN,
Plaintiff,
CASE NO. 15-CV-10088
HONORABLE GEORGE CARAM STEEH

v.
JOHN DOE, #1, et al.,
Defendants.
/

ORDER TO STRIKE
Defendants filed a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim this Bivens action
arising out of plaintiff’s search and seizure at the United States’ border with Canada as a
result of which Customs and Border Protection officers found marijuana and drug
paraphernalia in plaintiff’s vehicle. Defendants’ brief in support of their motion to dismiss
is 20 pages. Plaintiff filed a 93 page response without leave of court to file a brief in excess
of 25 pages as provided for in Local Rule 7.1(d)(3). Given the length of the government’s
brief, it does not appear that plaintiff is entitled to a page extension. Because plaintiff lacks
leave of court to file a brief in excess of the page limit, plaintiff’s response (Doc. 16) is
STRICKEN. Plaintiff is GRANTED an extension of time to file a response which comports
with the 25 page limit which shall be filed on or before May 14, 2015.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: April 28, 2015
