| 2024-01-24 | | MINUTE ORDER: Plaintiff Chris Wright, proceeding pro se, brings this FOIA action against the FBI. The FBI filed a Motion for Summary Judgment, Plaintiff responded and the FBI filed a reply brief. Plaintiff subsequently proffered what amounts to a sur-reply brief, ECF No. 59. "The Local Rules of this Court contemplate that there ordinarily will be at most three memoranda associated with any given motion: (i) the movant's opening memorandum; (ii) the non-movant's opposition; and (iii) the movant's reply." Crummey v. Soc. Sec. Admin., 794 F. Supp. 2d 46, 62 (D.D.C. 2011) (citing LCvR 7). Here, Mr. Wright is the non-movant and "when the nonmovant is deprived of the opportunity to contest matters raised for the first time in the movant's reply, the non-movant may" file a motion seeking leave to file a sur-reply brief. Id. (citing BenKotel v. Howard Univ., 319 F.3d 532, 536 (D.C. Cir. 2003)). Sur-reply briefs are generally disfavored, however, and district courts may exercise their discretion and deny a motion to file a sur-reply brief. Id. (citation omitted). In exercising its discretion, "the district court should remain cognizant that parties proceeding without legal representation are entitled to a certain amount of solicitude in the conduct of litigation, but also that such solicitude is not limitless and pro se litigants are not relieved of their obligation to comply with the applicable rules." Id. (citing Slovinec v. Am. Univ., 520 F. Supp. 2d 107, 111 (D.D.C. 2007)). Where a party fails to seek leave to file a sur-reply, the court may strike the pleading without notice. In the present case, Mr. Wright has not sought leave to file his sur-reply brief, nor is it apparent from his proffered brief that he addresses issues raised for the first time in the FBI's reply brief. Indeed, Mr. Wright simply reiterates the arguments he raised in his opposition brief. See ECF No. 59 at 1 ("Defendant's Reply leaves Plaintiff's key arguments completely unrebutted."). Accordingly, Mr. Wright's proffered sur-reply brief, ECF No. 59, is hereby STRICKEN. Signed by Judge Tanya S. Chutkan on 01/24/2024. (lcd) (Entered: 01/24/2024) |
