CLARK COUNTY DETENTION CENTER,

Defendants.

Case No. 2:14-cv-01560-APG-VCF
ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO
STRIKE OPPOSITION AND DENYING
MOTION TO STRIKE LETTER
(ECF Nos. 41, 43)

10
11

Defendant Darren MacArthur moves to strike plaintiff Christopher Hunter’s opposition at

12

ECF No. 39. MacArthur argues it is a fugitive document because MacArthur has not filed a

13

motion to dismiss and the document appears to be in response to MacArthur’s answer to the

14

complaint. I grant this motion because the document filed at ECF No. 39 is an unauthorized

15

response to MacArthur’s answer.

16

MacArthur also moves to strike Hunter’s letter to the court located at ECF No. 42. There

17

is no reason to strike the letter. To the extent the letter requests relief in the form of assurances

18

that Hunter’s motion for reconsideration and opposition to motion to dismiss have been received

19

by the court, the requested relief is moot. Both documents have been received and docketed in

20

this action. See ECF Nos. 38, 39.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that defendant Darren MacArthur’s motion to strike
opposition (ECF No. 41) is GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Darren MacArthur’s motion to strike letter (ECF No.
43) is DENIED.
DATED this 28th day of February, 2017.
