SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION,

Plaintiff,
vs.

ORDER

BRYAN S. BEHRENS, et al.,
Defendants.
The Court is in receipt of the plaintiff's Motion for Entry of a Final
Judgment (filing 376), a response (filing 383) filed by pro se defendant Bryan
S. Behrens, and a notice of possible opposition (filing 387) filed by some
interested parties. In order to clarify for the parties how the plaintiff's motion
will be submitted, the Court sets forth the following schedule pursuant to
Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(1)(A).
Any party wishing to oppose the plaintiff's motion, either in whole or in
part, may file a brief in opposition1 on or before January 8, 2014. The
plaintiff (or any other party)2 may file a reply in support of the plaintiff's
motion on or before January 22, 2014. The parties are directed to NECivR
7.1(b)(1)(2) with respect to providing evidentiary support for their opposition,
should it be required. Any further extensions of time, for good cause shown,
should be requested pursuant to Rule 6(b)(1)(A) and NECivR 6.1(a)(2).
IT IS ORDERED:
1.

Response briefs in opposition to the plaintiff's Motion for
Entry of a Final Judgment (filing 376) may be filed on or
before January 8, 2014.

NECivR 7.1(b)(1)(A) provides that a "party opposing a motion must not file an 'answer,'
'opposition,' 'objection,' or 'response,' or any similarly titled responsive filing. Rather, the
party must file a brief that concisely states the reasons for opposing the motion and cites to
supporting authority."
1

While ordinarily only the moving party may reply in support of a motion, see NECivR
7.1(c), given the number of interested parties in this case, the Court will grant any party
supporting the plaintiff's motion leave to file a reply brief to that effect.
2

2.

Reply briefs in support of the plaintiff's motion may be filed
on or before January 22, 2014.

3.

Absent any further extensions of time, the plaintiff's
motion will be submitted to the Court for disposition on
January 23, 2014.

Dated this 19th day of December, 2013.
BY THE COURT:

John M. Gerrard
United States District Judge
