IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW MEXICO
IN RE: ALL CIVIL MATTERS ASSIGNED TO
DISTRICT JUDGE MARGARET I. STRICKLAND
STANDING ORDER REGARDING MOTIONS FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND
MOTIONS IN LIMINE
Each party is limited to filing one motion for summary judgment and one motion in
limine. Motions may address multiple issues.
The motions, responses, and replies shall be governed by the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure, the Local Rules of the District of New Mexico, relevant precedent from
the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, and this Court’s Orders.
A party may move for an extension of the page limitations established by Local
Rules 7.5 and 10.5 if such an extension is reasonably necessary to brief the issues. An
extension of more than five pages will rarely be granted.
When a motion for summary judgment or motion in limine presents multiple issues,
the issues shall be presented in separately numbered subsections. Any party opposing
the motion shall respond to the issues in the same sequence and using the same
numbering as the motion’s subsections.
