On March 15, 2012, Judge Seitz issued an Order (DE #98) which stated in

Based on the allegations of the amended pleading, the parties shall file supplements to their existing motions for summary judgment by April 11, 2012 to address any new issues.

concluded briefing under the Local and Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 10. 11. Plaintiff, however, has filed two additional briefs, Docket Entries 114 and 115. As the Plaintiff is not permitted to file a response brief to a reply brief by Local

Rules 7.1 and 7.5 of the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida, Defendants move this Court to strike them from the record. LEGAL ARGUMENT The Local Rules for the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida provide the procedure for Motion practice. Rule 7.1(c) provides that the movant shall file a motion, the party opposing the motion shall file a response brief and the movant may file a reply brief.

Summary Judgment pursuant to the Courts Order (DE #98), the Plaintiff filed a response brief and the Defendants filed a reply brief. In contravention of the Rules of Civil Procedure and Local Rules, Plaintiff improperly filed a Response brief to Defendants Reply Brief (DE #114) and a Supplemental Motion in response (DE #115). These briefs do not raise any new issues for this Court to consider. Instead, these additional briefs appear simply to be an attempt by Plaintiff to further burden the Court and counsel with repetitive and irrelevant arguments with the apparent purpose to further delay an ultimate ruling on summary judgment, which has been pending since January 12, 2012.

CONCLUSION For the reasons set forth above, the Defendants would move this Court for an Order Striking Plaintiffs Response Brief to a Reply Brief (DE #114) and Supplemental Response Brief (DE #115), and for any further relief the Court deems just and proper.
