ORDER STRIKING PLAINTIFF'S REQUEST FOR JUDICIAL NOTICE FROM THE RECORD

(ECF No. 14).

STANLEY A. BOONE, Magistrate Judge.

On July 14, 2017, Plaintiff filed this action. On July 17, 2017, the Court issued a scheduling order. (ECF No. 3-1.) The scheduling order states that Plaintiff's reply brief shall be filed with the Court within 15 days after service of Defendant's responsive brief. Defendant's responsive brief was filed on March 23, 2018.1 (ECF No. 13.) Therefore, the deadline for Plaintiff to file a reply brief was April 9, 2018.

On April 10, 2018, Plaintiff filed a reply brief, which she docketed as a request for judicial notice. (ECF No. 14.) Therefore, Plaintiff's reply brief was filed a day late. Plaintiff did not file a stipulation or motion to file her reply brief nunc pro tunc.

In the Court's January 5, 2018 order denying the stipulation for an extension of time to file the opening brief as unnecessary, the Court advised the parties that requests for modification of the briefing schedule would not routinely be granted and would only be granted upon a showing of good cause. (ECF No. 10.) In addition, the parties were advised that for requests to modify the briefing schedule done after a deadline, the party seeking an extension must show additional good cause why the matter was filed late with the request for nunc pro tunc.

Therefore, the request for judicial notice shall be stricken from the record. If Plaintiff wishes to file a reply brief, she must file a request to file her reply brief nunc pro tunc, setting forth the appropriate legal rationale, along with her reply brief.2

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the request for judicial notice (ECF No. 14) is STRICKEN FROM THE RECORD.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
