Motions to Strike

Motions to strike are strongly disfavored. See generally Custom Vehicles, Inc. v. Forest River, Inc., 464 F.3d 725, 727 (7th Cir. 2006) (Easterbrook, J., in chambers). They serve primarily as unauthorized vehicles for parties to expand the page limits for memoranda in support of their motions. The Court is capable of discerning if a new argument has been raised in a reply brief, or if a litigant has failed to comply with the requirements of Local Rule 56.1; such errors do not require supplemental motion practice. If a party believes that the other side's brief contains inaccurate facts or that the other side's Local Rule 56.1 statement (in summary-judgment briefing) contains an unsupported assertion, then the complaining party should so argue in the response or reply brief, or in the responsive 56.1 statement. Motions to strike that are not within the limited boundaries established by Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(f) will be summarily denied.
