UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

Debora A. Dowlin v. Community Alliance of Human Services ORDER It is this court's practice, despite the provisions of Local Rule 7.1(d), to hear oral argument on all dispositive motions whether or not oral argument is requested. This court will Civil No. 09-cv-00043-JL

schedule argument on the defendant's motion to dismiss in due course. The papers filed by both parties in connection with the request for oral argument (document nos. 15-21), however, are STRICKEN, as they consist almost entirely of counsel's casting aspersions on each other rather than addressing any of the issues at hand. That sort of practice--of which both sides appear

roughly in pari delicto--is not looked upon favorably. SO ORDERED.
