Plaintiffs move to strike the following Defense exhibits as their attachment is in violation of Judge Robreno’s Local Rule I(B) “Correspondence with the Court”: Exhibit 2, 2(a), 2(b), 2(c), 2(d), 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12. In pertinent part, Judge Robreno’s Local Rule I(B) instructs parties that “Counsel should not send Judge Robreno copies of letters sent to each other unless specifically invited to do so.” Each of the above reference exhibits is a letter sent to Plaintiffs in the course of litigation. Plaintiffs have recognized this rule in their Motion for Continuance and in honoring said rule, chose not to attach letters in Plaintiffs motion. Defendants, however, have ignored and violated Judge Robreno’s local rule. Case 2:16-cv-02362-ER Document 114 Filed 03/15/19 Page 1 of 4 Plaintiffs also move to strike Defense Exhibits 1, 8, 9, and 10 as being irrelevant to this case because they are declarations and letters concerning an entirely different case from an entirely different jurisdiction. Accordingly, said exhibits are irrelevant to the case pending before this court. WHEREFORE PREMISES CONSIDRED, Plaintiffs pray that the Honorable Court strike the exhibits laid out above because they were attached to Defendant’s response in direct violation of Judge Robreno’s Local Rule I(B) “Correspondence with the Court”, and that the Court strike exhibits laid out above that are communications and declarations from an entirely different case.
