ORDER

14
This matter is before the court on Plaintiff Pacquiao’s Motion for Leave to File a Sur15
Reply in Support of Opposition to Mayweather’s Motion to Compel Discovery and For Sanctions
16
(#191) and Plaintiff Pacquiao’s Sealed Motion (#192).
17
Plaintiff seeks Court approval to file a sur-reply to Defendant’s Reply (#184/185)
18
regarding Defendants’ Motion to Compel (#161). Pacquiao argues that the Defendants’ Reply
19
(#185) introduced new facts and issues that were not in the original Motion (#161) and that most
20
of the new information arose after the Response (#176). The Court agrees. The Sur-Reply will be
21
helpful in evaluating the Motion to Compel (#161). Good cause appearing therefore,
22
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff Pacquiao’s Motion for Leave to File a Sur23
Reply in Support of Opposition to Mayweather’s Motion to Compel Discovery and For Sanctions
24
(#191) and Plaintiff Pacquiao’s Sealed Motion (#192) are GRANTED.
