Case No. 2:15-cv-00326-LDG-NJK
ORDER

16

Pending before the Court are several different requests for relief that were originally filed in state

17

court. See Docket No. 5. These requests include a 30-page, single-spaced ex parte petition for the return

18

of seized property and unsealing of the affidavit supporting warrant, Docket No. 5 at 5-34, as well as

19

an additional 16-page, single-spaced notice of motion and motion for return of seized property/request

20

for evidentiary hearing/request for unsealing, Docket No. 5 at 43-58. In short, the pending request for

21

relief consists of nearly 50-pages of single-spaced briefing, not including exhibits.

22

The Court is cognizant that the above documents were filed in state court before this case was

23

removed. Nonetheless, this Court’s local rules limit briefs to 30 pages of double-spaced text. See Local

24

Rule 7-4 (briefs generally limited to 30 pages); Local Rule 10-1 (except for limited exceptions,

25

“typewritten text shall be double-spaced”). Accordingly, the pending requests for relief are all hereby

26

DENIED without prejudice.
