be filed by BILL COGBILL). Plaintiffs allege ten causes of action against the COUNTY and 

fourteen causes of action against COGBILL. It is anticipated that the Memorandum of Points and 

Authorities that will be filed in support of each of the two Motions will exceed the 25 pages allowed 

by Local Rules 7-2(b) and 7-4(b). This additional space is necessary to fully argue the complex 

issues presented by the Third Amended Complaint. COUNTY and COGBILL cannot provide the 

Court with a full analysis of the issues subject to summary judgment or partial summary judgment, 

including a complete analysis of the law and facts pertaining thereto, in 25 pages. Defendants 

require additional space, of up to 10 additional pages for each of the two Memoranda that will be 

filed in support of two Motions. Therefore, pursuant to Local Rule 7-12: 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and among the undersigned counsel that, 

subject to the Court’s approval, the COUNTY and COGBILL may each file a Memorandum of 

Points and Authorities in support of their two separate Motions for Summary Judgment or, in the 

Alternative, Partial Summary Judgment (one Motion to be filed by the COUNTY and one Motion to 

be filed by COGBILL) of up to 35 pages in length.
