Case No. 3:18-cv-00124-RCJ-WGC
ORDER

vs.
LADERA DEVELOPMENT, LLC,
a Nevada limited liability company,
Defendant.

15
16

Plaintiff filed five separate motions for summary judgment totaling 124 pages excluding

17

exhibits. (ECF Nos. 124–28.) Defendant moves to strike these motions on the ground that they

18

violate the Court’s local rules (among other arguments). (ECF No. 130.) Specifically, Defendant

19

cites to LR 7-3(a), which reads, in pertinent part, “Motions for summary judgment . . . are limited

20

to 30 pages, excluding exhibits. . . . . Parties must not circumvent this rule by filing multiple

21

motions.” (emphasis added). The Court agrees with Defendant; the plain language of this rule

22

proscribes the filing of multiple motions for summary judgment without leave of this Court. The

23

Court may deny or strike any motion that is not filed in accordance with the local rules. See LR IA

24

10-1(d). The Court therefore grants Defendant’s motion and denies Plaintiff’s motions for
1 of 2

1

summary judgment without prejudice. Plaintiff may refile a motion for summary judgment by June

2

28, 2021. If Plaintiff truly needs to file more than thirty pages for the issues on summary judgment,

3

it may file a motion under LR 7-3(c) to exceed the page limits.
