Court Filing
NO. 纵 Α.Μ. FILED P.M. NOV 21 2024 IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT OF TRENT TRIPPLE, Clerk THE STATE OF IDAHO, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF ADA By ANNA MEYER DEPUTY STATE OF IDAHO, Ada County Case No. CR01-24-31665 Plaintiff, V. ORDER DENYING MOTION TO STRIKE DEFENDANT'S MEMORANDA BRYAN C. KOHBERGER, Defendant. Before the Court is the State's " Motion to Strike Defendant's Memorandum in Support of Motion to Suppress re: Genetic Information and Memorandum in Support of a Franks Hearing " (Nov. 20, 2024). The State aptly points out that both memoranda violate Rule 8.1 of the Fourth Judicial District Local Rules setting a fifteen-page limit on memoranda in support of nondispositive motions. Defendant's memoranda at issue are 37 pages and 33 pages, respectively. Moreover, Defendant did not seek leave of Court to file overlength memoranda, which is contemplated by Local Rule 8.3. Given the breadth and significance of the two motions at issue, the Court declines to strike the memoranda. Had Defendant moved for leave to file overlength briefs, it would have been granted. The Court will, however, allow the State an equal number of pages in filing its responses to the two motions. In the future, counsel shall abide by the page limits set by the Local Rules or seek leave of Court in advance of filing an overlength brief. ORDERED and DATED this 21 day of November, 2024.
