UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
BRADLEY STOBAR,
Plaintiff,

Case No. 16-10225
HON. TERRENCE G. BERG

v.
THE HOME DEPOT, et. al.,
Defendants.
/

ORDER STRIKING PLAINTIFF’S RESPONSE, REPLY TO MOTION TO
FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT (DKT. 20, 27)
On March 2, 2016, Plaintiff filed a response to the pending motion for
summary judgment. (Dkt. 20). The response failed to comply with this Court’s
practice guidelines. Under Practice Guideline F, a Rule 56 motion must contain a
“statement of material facts” consisting of numbered paragraphs supported by
specific citations to the record. The party opposing summary judgment must
respond with a “counter-statement of material facts,” consisting of numbered
paragraphs that correspond to the moving party’s statement of material facts. If
any of the moving party's proffered facts are contested, the non-moving party must
explain the basis for the factual disagreement, referencing and citing record
evidence. The non-moving party may then include additional numbered paragraphs
as necessary.
Accordingly, Plaintiff’s response to the motion for summary judgment is
STRICKEN. Plaintiff must re-file his response by April 15, 2016. Any reply shall

be filed by April 22, 2016. The parties are also reminded that they require leave of
Court to file any sur-replies. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s sur-reply (Dkt. 27) is also
STRICKEN.
For the reasons explained above, the Court STRIKES Plaintiff’s response
(Dkt. 20) and sur-reply (Dkt. 27).
SO ORDERED.
Dated: April 13, 2016
