ROMY LYNN THOMPSON

DEFENDANT
ORDER

On December 22, 2021, Romy Lynn Thompson filed her response in opposition to the
third-party defendants’ motion to dismiss. Doc. #47. However, Romy failed to file a memorandum
brief as required by the Local Rules.1 See L.U. Civ. R. 7(b)(4) (“Counsel for respondent must …
file a response and memorandum brief in support of the response.”). Additionally, Romy attached
two exhibits to her response but failed to include “a meaningful description” as required. See L.U.
Civ. R. 7(b)(2).
Because of these procedural deficiencies, Romy’s response [47] is STRICKEN. Within
fourteen (14) days of this order, Romy may refile her response, exhibits, and accompanying
memorandum2 in accordance with the Local Rules.
SO ORDERED, this 7th day of January, 2022.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

To the extent Romy considers the document she filed as her response to be her memorandum brief, exhibits should
not have been attached to it. See L.U. Civ. R. 7(b)(2) (“All … exhibits … must be filed as exhibits to the motion,
response or rebuttal to which they relate. The memorandum brief must be filed as a separate docket item from the
motion or response and the exhibits.”).

The memorandum may include only those arguments contained in the original response.
