ORDER

Pending before the Court is the Motion for Summary Judgment [# 73]. On
February 13, 2017, Plaintiff filed a response to the motion. Plaintiff’s brief in
opposition to the Motion for Summary Judgment, however, spans 73 pages. The
Local Rules of this Court provide that a brief may not exceed twenty-five page.
LCvR 7.1(D). Plaintiff did not seek leave to file a brief longer than twenty-five
pages. And even if Plaintiff had filed such a motion, this Court would not have
allowed her to file a response in excess of the limits set by the Local Rules.
Accordingly, the Court STRIKES the Memorandum in Opposition to Defendant’s
Motion for Summary Judgment [# 83]. Plaintiff shall have seven (7) days from the
entry of this Order to file a new memorandum in 14 point font that does not exceed
twenty-five pages in length. This Court will not grant Plaintiff additional pages.
