Case No. 2:11-cv-00445-KJD-PAL
ORDER
(Mot. Strike - Dkt. #22)

Before the court is the Defendants’ Motion to Strike (Dkt. #22). No opposition was filed and
the time for filing a response has now run.
Defendants seek an order striking three documents filed by the Plaintiff after the court entered a

15

Screening Order (Dkt. #10), and Order Setting Inmate Early Mediation Conference (Dkt. #15).

16

Specifically, Plaintiff filed a 78-page Amended Memorandum of Law in Support of Civil Rights

17

Complaint (Dkt. #12), Notice and Motion of Informative [sic] to Judge Regarding Discretions with

18

Mediation (Dkt. #18), and Motion for Transfer and Grounds of Prejudice (Dkt. #19). Having reviewed

19

and considered the matter, the court finds Plaintiff filed these documents in contravention of the court’s

20

orders. Additionally, Plaintiff did not file an opposition to Defendants’ motion to strike, and pursuant

21

to LR 7-2(d), the failure of an opposing party to file points and authorities in response to any motion

22

shall constitute a consent to the granting of the motion. Accordingly,

23

IT IS ORDERED that Defendants’ Motion to Strike (Dkt. #22) is GRANTED, and Plaintiff’s

24

Amended Memorandum (Dkt. #12), Notice of Motion (Dkt. #18), and Motion for Transfer (Dkt. #19)

25

are STRICKEN.
