 COMES NOW Defendants T-Bird Restaurant Group, Inc. and T-Bird Nevada, 

LLC (“T-Bird”) and Plaintiffs Holly Gehl, and Chris Armenta, et al., by and through 

their undersigned counsel, and seek leave of this Court for an order permitting T-Bird 

to file thirty (30) pages of text rather than the Civil LR 7-3 twenty-five (25) pages of 

text in its brief in Opposition to Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification and for 

Plaintiffs to file a twenty (20) pages of text Reply in Support of Motion for Class 

Certification. The Plaintiffs’ motion for certification seeks to certify six subclasses 

and the putative class involves over 9,000 potential members who have worked at 63 

Outback Steakhouses in California. The five additional pages of briefing sought are 

necessary to fully brief the court on the relevant facts and issues for fair consideration. 

Plaintiffs also request an additional five days to file their reply brief, from the currently 

scheduled April 8, 2015 to April 13, 2015 because Plaintiffs’ lead counsel has a 

recently scheduled Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals argument on April 9, 2015 and 

counsel needs the additional time to prepare their reply brief. 

 A proposed form of order is submitted herewith.
