ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION
FOR LEAVE TO FILE EXCESS PAGES (Dkt. 89) AND STRIKING
PLAINTIFF’S OBJECTIONS (Dkt. 88)
On February 16, 2017 Magistrate Judge Mona Majzoub issued a twenty-five
page Report and Recommendation in this case. (Dkt. 86). On March 2, 2017,
Plaintiff filed Objections to this Report and Recommendation (Dkt. 88); Plaintiff’s
Objections consist of forty-four pages of argument. Plaintiff also filed a Motion for
Leave to File Excess Pages (Dkt. 89) on March 2, 2017, after she filed her
Objections.
The Eastern District of Michigan’s Local Rule 72.1(d)(5) provides, “LR [local
rule] 7.1 governs the form of objections, responses, and replies.” Local Rule 7.1, in
turn, provides, “the text of a brief [. . .], including footnotes and signatures, may not
exceed 25 pages.” Pursuant to Local Rules 72.1(d)(5) and 7.1, Plaintiff’s Motion for
Leave to File Excess Pages (Dkt. 89)—which was itself filed only after Plaintiff filed

her Objections in excess of the page limitations—is DENIED and Plaintiff’s fortyfour page set of Objections (Dkt. 88) is STRICKEN.
Plaintiff is hereby granted until Monday, March 13, 2017 to file any
Objections in compliance with the page limitations of Local Rule 7.1. If Plaintiff
does not file her Objections by March 13, 2017, such Objections will be deemed
waived. Defendants are granted until Monday, March 20, 2017 to file any
responses.
SO ORDERED.
