DEFENDANTS
ORDER

On October 4, 2021, Hector Ruiz refiled an eight-page motion for summary judgment. 1
Doc. #250. Local Rule 7(b)(2)(B) provides that “a motion may not exceed four pages, excluding
exhibits, may contain only the grounds for the request and may not contain any legal argument or
citations to case law or other secondary authority.” Ruiz’s motion contains legal argument and
exceeds by four pages the page limitation set forth in this Court’s Local Rules. See Doc. #250.
Accordingly, Ruiz’s motion for summary judgment [250] is DENIED without prejudice. Ruiz
may refile his motion for summary judgment in accordance with the Court’s procedural rules
within three (3) days of the entry of this order. The refiled summary judgment motion and
accompanying memorandum brief may not include any new legal argument or basis for summary
judgment.
SO ORDERED, this 5th day of October, 2021.
/s/Debra M. Brown
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

Ruiz first filed a motion for summary judgment on October 1, 2021, Doc. #242, and was directed by the Clerk of
Court to refile the motion because it violated the Court’s Local Rules regarding exhibit attachments.
