Case No. 13-cv-01300-JSW 

ORDER CLARIFYING SUMMARY 

JUDGMENT PROCEDURE AND PAGE 

LIMITS 

Re: Docket No. 370 

The Court has received the parties’ Joint Request for Clarification of Summary Judgment 

Procedure, and it issues the following rulings: 

1. The parties shall file four briefs total, and Plaintiffs will file the opening brief. 

Therefore, the parties shall proceed with Option One, and they may address which party bears the 

ultimate burden of proof on any issue in their briefs. 

2. The parties’ understanding of the page limitations associated with the motions is 

incorrect. Although the Court has directed the parties to proceed by way of cross-motions, when it 

follows that procedure, it does not deviate from its general page limitations, which limits motions 

for summary judgment to 25 pages. See Civil Standing Order ¶ 9. However, given the number of 

issues involved, the Court will sua sponte grant the parties some additional pages to present their 

arguments to the Court. 

Accordingly, Plaintiffs’ opening brief shall not exceed 30 pages. Defendants’ crossmotion and opposition shall not exceed 45 pages, Plaintiffs’ opposition and reply shall not exceed 

40 pages, and Defendants’ reply shall not exceed 25 pages. In addition, the Court admonishes the 

parties that any footnotes must be in 12 point font, and all objections to evidence must be 

contained within the parties’ briefs. See N.D. Civ. L.Rs. 3-4(c)(2); 7-3(a), (c).
