HONORABLE GEORGE CARAM STEEH

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

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION (Doc. 18)
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). The court entered an order striking the
improvidently filed brief. Plaintiff has filed a motion for reconsideration, stating that the
complexity of the issues involved require the filing of a 93-page brief. Having considered
plaintiff’s argument, IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff may file a brief of no more than 50 pages
to be filed on or before May 15, 2015.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: May 1, 2015
