Case No. 2:16-cv-00412-GMN-CWH
ORDER

13

Presently before the Court is Plaintiff David Lee Phillips’s Motion to Limit Pre-Trial

14

Publicity (ECF No. 14), filed on March 3, 2016. Plaintiff requests that the Court limit all pre-trial

15

publicity pending the resolution of this matter. Plaintiff does not provide any points and authorities

16

in support of his motion in contravention of Local Rule 7-2, which requires all motions to be

17

supported by points and authorities and provides that the “failure of a moving party to file points

18

and authorities in support of the motion shall constitute a consent to the denial of the motion.” The

19

Court therefore will deny Plaintiff’s motion without prejudice.

20

IT IS SO ORDERED.
