SWENSON, 12 Defendant. 13 14 ORDER 15 16 Presently before the court is defendant Christopher B. Swenson;s motion to strike, or, alternatively, for leave to file a sur-reply. Doc. #42. Plaintiff has not yet filed a response. 17 The matters addressed in defendant’s motion to strike are set for hearing for Wednesday 18 August 1, 2012. Defendant will have sufficient opportunity to object to plaintiff’s motion and 19 proposed order at that time. Accordingly, the court finds no reason to strike the documents at this 20 time. The court will hear the parties’ respective positions on the issue of a preliminary injunction 21 at the hearing and only after determine what order to enter. 22 However, a sur-reply may be filed by leave of court “to address new matters raised in a reply 23 to which a party would otherwise be unable to respond.” Kanvick v.
