  The KP-II equation was derived by [B. B. Kadomtsev and V. I.
Petviashvili,Sov. Phys. Dokl. vol.15 (1970), 539-541] to explain stability of
line solitary waves of shallow water. Stability of line solitons has been
proved by [T. Mizumachi, Mem. of vol. 238 (2015), no.1125] and [T. Mizumachi,
Proc. Roy. Soc. Edinburgh Sect. A. vol.148 (2018), 149--198]. It turns out the
local phase shift of modulating line solitons are not uniform in the transverse
direction. In this paper, we obtain the $L^\infty$-bound for the local phase
shift of modulating line solitons for polynomially localized perturbations.
