Pursuant to Local Rule 7.3(f), Defendants Tara Levicy (“Nurse Levicy”),
Gary Smith (“Officer Smith”), Duke University (“Duke”), and Duke University

to expedite briefing on Defendants’ Joint Motion to Strike Plaintiffs’ Untimely and

Defendants show the Court as follows:
1.

For the reasons set forth in the accompanying Brief in Support of

Motion to Expedite Briefing, Defendants respectfully request that the Court order

a.

Plaintiffs shall file any response brief to Defendants’ motion to

strike by 11:59 p.m. on 31 March 2014.
b.

Defendants shall file any reply brief in further support of the

motion to strike by 11:59 p.m. on 3 April 2014.
c.

Should the Court ultimately deny the motion to strike and grant

Defendants’ alternative motion for leave to file a supplemental reply brief in
support of their motion for judgment on the pleadings, Defendants shall file any
such reply brief within three days of the entry of an order denying the motion to
strike and granting the alternative motion for leave.
