Order Denying Motions to Strike

[ECF Nos. 30, 39, 40, 41]

Defendant

On September 11, 2017, the Clark County School District filed a motion to dismiss Kirk

11

1
12 Alexander Curls’s employment lawsuit. The four-page motion has since spawned two motions

13 to strike, a motion for leave to file a surreply, and a stipulation to extend time to respond to that
14 surreply request.
Perhaps because Mr. Curls represented himself through a portion of the briefing, the

15

16 record has become nearly impossible to follow. Having reviewed all the submissions related to,
17 and stemming from, the motion to dismiss, the Court finds that the most judicially economical
18 way to ensure that all material issues raised by the motion to dismiss can be considered on their
19 merits is to deny all pending motions except the motion to dismiss, disregard the response to the
20 motion to dismiss and reply in support of it, and essentially order a do-over on the response and
21 reply briefs.
Accordingly, in an exercise of the Court’s inherent power to control the docket in this

22

23 case, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
The Motions to Strike, the Motion for Leave to File Surreply, and the Stipulation to

24

25 Extend Time [ECF Nos. 30, 39, 40, 41] are DENIED as moot;

It is further ordered that THE COURT WILL DISREGARD the Response to the Motion

2 to Dismiss [ECF No. 29] and the Reply in Support of the Motion to Dismiss [ECF No. 31]. The
3 plaintiff has until June 1, 2018, to file a response to the Motion to Dismiss [ECF No. 23], and the
4 defendant has until June 13, 2018, to file its reply in support of the Motion to Dismiss. No
5 further briefing on these issues will be permitted.

It is further ordered that the Court will hear the Motion to Dismiss [ECF No. 23] on

7 July 2, 2018, at 3:00 p.m. in Courtroom 6D.

Dated this 21st day of May, 2018.
