ORDER ON SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT (DOC. NO. 47)

LEO T. SOROKIN, District Judge.

On December 17, 2019, the Court dismissed Relator John Karvelas' Amended Complaint but authorized him to file a Second Amended Complaint as to Counts I and II to cure the failure of plausibility as to those two claims. Doc. No. 45 at 16. Karvelas timely filed a Second Amended Complaint that is 142 pages in length. This sprawling Complaint reasserts claims dismissed by the Court, see, e.g., Doc. No. 47 at 135 (reasserting a claim under Mass. Gen. Laws § 187), and appears to violate Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a)(2)'s requirement of "a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief." Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a)(2). Accordingly, Karvelas shall either within fourteen days (1) submit a memorandum, not to exceed ten pages, explaining the basis for concluding that his Second Amended Complaint complies with Rule 8, or (2) replace the Second Amended Complaint with a revised pleading that complies with the strictures of Rule 8.

Along with his Second Amended Complaint, Karvelas simultaneously filed a memorandum of law. Doc. No. 48. The Court STRIKES this document as it exceeds the standard 20-page limit for memoranda. See Local Rule 7.1(b)(4) (providing that "[m]emoranda supporting or opposing allowance of motions shall not, without leave of court, exceed 20 pages, double-spaced."). The Court reminds Karvelas that all memoranda must not only comply with the page limits imposed by the Court but also the related formatting rules set forth in Local Rule 5.1.

SO ORDERED.
