Before the court is defendants' Motion to Strike #244; or Alternatively to File Sur-Reply to Document #244 (#246). The court has considered the motion (#246), plaintiffs' Opposition (#247), and defendants' Reply (#248). On August 5, 2010, plaintiffs filed a Motion for Hearing (#241). On August 9, 2010, the court ordered defendants to file a response to the motion not later than August 13, 2010, 4:00 p.m. Minute Order (#242). The court further limited the length of the response to six pages. Pursuant to the court's order, defendants timely filed their six-page Opposition (#243) on August 13, 2010. The court did not address whether or when a reply should be filed. On August 23, 2010, plaintiffs filed a nineteen-page Reply (#244), which includes detailed legal and factual arguments in support of their demand for default judgment as a sanction against defendants for their alleged wrongful conduct. Because this issue must be fully aired, IT IS ORDERED that defendants Motion to Strike #244; or Alternatively to File Sur-Reply to Document #244 (#246) is granted as follows: defendants shall file a sur-reply in response to plaintiffs' Reply (#244). The sur-reply shall be filed not later than November 30, 2010.
