Case No.: 2:13-cv-2191-GMN-CWH
ORDER

Pending before the Court are Plaintiff Assurance Company of America’s (“Assurance

12

Company”) fifteen Motions for Partial Summary Judgment. (ECF Nos. 39-53). Assurance

13

Company has filed fifteen separate Motions, when it should have filed a single motion setting

14

forth all of its arguments regarding summary judgment. See Sherwin v. Infinity Auto Ins. Co.,

15

No. 2:11-CV-00043-MMD, 2012 WL 5378150, at *1 (D. Nev. Oct. 30, 2012).

16

Local Rule 7-4 provides, “[P]oints and authorities in support of, or in response to,

17

motions shall be limited to thirty (30) pages including the motion but excluding exhibits.” D.

18

Nev. R. 7-4. In apparent intentional defiance of Local Rule 7-4, Assurance Company’s instant

19

Motions total 275 pages, excluding attached exhibits and supporting affidavits. Therefore, the

20

Court will deny the instant Motions without prejudice. See Sherwin, 2012 WL 5378150, at *1.

21

The Court admonishes Assurance Company that it will not consider motions that fail to adhere

22

to the requirements of Local Rule 7-4. Accordingly,

23
24
25

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Assurance Company’s Motions for Partial Summary
Judgment, (ECF Nos. 39-53), are DENIED without prejudice.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant’s Motion to Strike Assurance
