`
`UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`
`NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
`
`ASHLEY M GJOVIK,
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`v.
`
`APPLE INC.,
`
`Case No. 23-cv-04597-EMC
`
`
`ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S
`MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE SUR-
`REPLY
`
`
`Defendant.
`
`Docket Nos. 93-96
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Plaintiff’s motion for leave to file a sur-reply is DENIED. The brief is not targeted to any
`
`alleged new contention in Defendant’s reply. Furthermore, the proposed sur-reply is more than
`
`seventy pages in length, exceeding the page lengths permitted for motions, oppositions, and reply
`
`briefs.
`
`The Court therefore STRIKES the sur-reply and the documents submitted in support. The
`
`declaration is also improper as the motion pending before the Court is a 12(b)(6) motion and not,
`
`e.g., a summary judgment motion.
`
`Finally, to the extent Plaintiff has asked the Court to consider additional case authorities,
`
`see Docket No. 96, the Court reserves ruling as to whether it shall do so.
`
`IT IS SO ORDERED.
