Any evidentiary and procedural objections to the motion must be contained within the brief or memorandum. Pursuant to Civil L.R. 7-4(b), such brief or memorandum may not exceed 25 pages of text. The opposition must be filed and served not more than 14 days after the motion was filed. Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(d), which extends deadlines that are tied to service (as opposed to filing), does not apply and thus does not extend this deadline. (b) Statement of Nonopposition. If the party against whom the motion is directed does not oppose the motion, that party must file with the Court a Statement of Nonopposition within the time for filing and serving any opposition. (c) Reply. Any reply to an opposition may include affidavits or declarations, as well as a supplemental brief or memorandum under Civil L.R. 7-4. Any evidentiary and procedural objections to the opposition must be contained within the reply brief or memorandum. Pursuant to Civil L.R. 7-4(b), the reply brief or memorandum may not exceed 15 pages of text. The reply to an opposition must be filed and served not more than 7 days after the opposition was due. Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(d), which extends deadlines that are tied to service (as opposed to filing), does not apply and thus does not extend this deadline. (d) Supplementary Material. Once a reply is filed, no additional memoranda, papers or letters may be filed without prior Court approval, except as follows: (1) Objection to Reply Evidence. If new evidence has been submitted in the reply, the opposing party may file and serve an Objection to Reply Evidence, which may not exceed 5 pages of text, stating its objections to the new evidence, which may not include further argument on the motion. The Objection to Reply Evidence must be filed and served not more than 7 days after the reply was filed. Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(d), which extends deadlines that are tied to service (as opposed to filing), does not apply and thus does not extend this deadline.

Such Statement shall contain a citation to and provide a copy of the new opinion without argument.
