Motion to strike filings are disfavored. See generally Custom Vehicles, Inc. v. Forest River, Inc., 464 F.3d 725, 727 (7th Cir. 2006). Motion to strike filings almost always require the Court to decide significant issues (and, indeed, the underlying motion) on the merits and multiply the briefs (because the other side should be allowed to respond). Id.

The Court is capable of discerning if a reply brief raises a new argument 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 contains an unsupported assertion, then the complaining party should make that argument in the response or reply brief or in the responsive 56.1 statement.
