On April 3, 2019, Plaintiff filed a document entitled "Plaintiff's Opening Brief." (Doc. No. 19.) However, the brief is not signed.
Unsigned filings cannot be considered by the Court, and therefore the filing will be stricken. Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a); Local Rule 131. Each document submitted for filing must be signed by the filing party. Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a); Local Rule 131(b). As Plaintiff's Opening Brief is unsigned, the Court must strike it from the record. Plaintiff will be permitted thirty (30) days to file a signed opening brief that complies with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Local Rules.
Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. Plaintiff's Opening Brief, filed April 3, 2019, (Doc. No. 19), is STRICKEN from the record for lack of signature; and
2. Within thirty (30) days from the date of service of this order, Plaintiff shall file a signed opening brief.
