ORDER DENYING MOTION TO STRIKE
On May 29, 2012, Defendant filed a motion to compel certain discovery
responses. (Doc. 30.) On June 21, 2012, Plaintiff filed a memorandum contra.
(Doc. 32.)
On July 5, 2012, Defendant filed a motion to strike or, in the alternative, a
reply in support of its motion to compel. (Doc. 33.) It stated that, as it filed its
motion to compel on May 29, 2012, under S. D. Ohio Civ. R. 7.2(a)(1), Plaintiff’s
memorandum contra was due twenty-one days after the date of service of the
motion, or June 19, 2012. Defendant therefore asserts that Plaintiff’s memorandum
contra was untimely, and requests that it be struck.
Under Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(d), Plaintiff’s memorandum contra was due on June
22, 2012. As it was timely filed, Defendant’s motion to strike is DENIED.
