Except as otherwise provided by court order or rule, objections to a magistrate judge’s order or
recommended disposition, or any response thereto, shall not exceed 4,200 words or, if written by
hand or typewriter, twelve pages.
(a) Nondispositive Matters
Any objection filed pursuant to this subsection must be noted for consideration for the day it is
filed. No response shall be filed unless requested by the court. The request will set a date when
the response is due, and may limit briefing to particular issues or points raised by the objections,
may authorize a reply, and may prescribe word or, if written by hand or typewriter, page
limitations.
(b) Dispositive Motions and Prisoner Petitions
A party filing objections must note them on the motions calendar pursuant to LCR 7 for a date no
earlier than 14 days after the objections are filed. Any response to the objections must be filed
by the noting date. No reply will be considered.
