Shankar v. Microsoft Corporation et al

Filing 141

MINUTE ORDER: The Court previously ordered Plaintiff to show cause why it should not find him to be a vexatious litigant (Dkt. No. 91 ). In so ordering, the Court warned Plaintiff that it "[would] not consider a response that exceeds five (5) pages in length." (Dkt. No. 91 at 2.) Plaintiff submitted a response (Dkt. No. 96 ) and a praecipe correcting the response (Dkt. No. 108 ), both of which combined totaled a little over five (5) pages. Nevertheless, the Court considered both filings. And yet, Plaintiff filed another praecipe (Dkt. No. 139 ), this time totaling 12 pages. As the Court clearly warned in its order to show cause (Dkt. No. 91 ), it will not consider a response that exceeds five (5) pages in length. The Court therefore STRIKES docket number 139 . Authorized by U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour. (KRA)
