Plaintiffs,

v.

TERRAFUSION, INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-02993-RS 

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR 

ADMINISTRATIVE RELIEF

Plaintiffs Edward Rotstein and Terrafusion International, Inc. request leave to file three 

separate motions for summary judgment or partial summary judgment addressing three different

legal issues. As Plaintiffs note, the Case Management Scheduling Order limits each party to one 

motion for summary judgment. Plaintiffs conclude that because there are two of them (an 

individual and a company), they are permitted to file jointly two motions for summary judgment. 

Not so. Each plaintiff is entitled to bring only one motion. The arguments that Plaintiffs intend to 

advance appear to apply equally to both of them. Thus, Plaintiffs’ request is essentially a request 

to exceed page limitations. Plaintiffs have not, at this point, provided sufficient justification for 

exceeding page limitations. Their request for relief is thus denied. Nevertheless, Plaintiffs are 

welcome to divide their motion for summary judgment into three parts, so as to present each set of 

issues discretely. They are also encouraged to consider whether the motions listed in their request 

are properly brought as motions for summary judgment or might instead be brought as some other 

type of motion.
