Plaintiff,

v.

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR
LEAVE TO FILE
CONTEMPORANEOUS
DISPOSITIVE MOTION

JONATHAN M. LOVE, et al.
Defendants.

15
16

THIS MATTER comes before the Court on Defendant United States’ Motion for Leave

17 to File Contemporaneous Dispositive Motion. (Dkt. No. 71.) Having reviewed the motion,
18 Plaintiff’s response, (Dkt. No. 74), and the related record, the Court hereby DENIES the motion.
19

Defendant United States has filed three motions to dismiss, two of which are currently

20 pending before the Court. (Dkt. Nos. 53, 58.) Defendant United States now moves under LCR
21 7(e) for leave to file a fourth dispositive motion. (Dkt. No. 71.) However, it appears that in the
22 proposed fourth motion Defendant United States makes many of the same arguments made in its
23 pending motions to dismiss. (Dkt. No. 71-1.) Because these arguments are already before the
24
ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR LEAVE TO
FILE CONTEMPORANEOUS DISPOSITIVE
MOTION- 1

1 Court, the Court DENIES the motion. The Court declines to award Plaintiff fees and costs
2 associated with responding to Defendant United States’ motion. (Dkt. No. 74 at 2.)
3

The clerk is ordered to provide copies of this order to all counsel.
