16 The District Court has referred this action, filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, to United States Magistrate Judge David W. Christel. On May 18, 2018, Plaintiff filed a surreply to Defendants’ Reply in support of their motion for summary judgment. Dkt. 62. Pursuant to Local Rule CR 7(g)(2), surreplies are limited to requests to strike material contained in or attached to a reply brief. “Extraneous argument or a surreply filed for any other reason will not be considered.” Id; see also Herrnandez v. Stryker Corp., 2015 WL 11714363, at *2 (W.D. Wash. 22 Mar. 13, 2015). Plaintiff does not request to strike material contained in Defendants’ Reply; rather, he provides additional argument. See Dkt. 62. Therefore, the Court directs the Clerk to strike Plaintiff’s surreply (Dkt. 62). The Court will not consider Docket Entry 62 when ruling on Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment.
