CIVIL ACTION NO. 4:11-CV-244-Y

ORDER DENYING MOTION
FOR LEAVE TO FILE SURREPLY
Before the Court is the motion for leave to file a surreply
(doc. 222) filed by defendants Travelport Limited and Travelport,
LP (collectively, “Travelport”). Under the local rules, the movant
is generally entitled to have the final word.

See Ponder Research

Group, LLP v. Aquatic Navigation, No. 4:09-CV-322-Y, 2009 WL
2868456, at *13 (N.D. Tex. Sept. 4, 2009).

Indeed, this Court has

previously noted that surreplies are “highly disfavored” and are
permitted only in “exceptional or extraordinary circumstances.”
Lacher v. West, 147 F. Supp. 2d 538, 540 (N.D. Tex. 2001) (Lindsay,
J.).
After review, the Court concludes that Travelport has not
demonstrated

that

such

exceptional

circumstances

exist.1

Accordingly, Travelport’s motion for leave is DENIED.
SIGNED February 28, 2012.

The Court also notes that Travelport’s motion is not accompanied by a
brief in support and, therefore, fails to comply with local rule 7.1(h).
