Case No.: 2:19-cv-01226-AC 

DEFENDANT’S REQUEST FOR LEAVE 

TO EXCEED PAGE LIMIT 

REQUEST 

Per the Court’s Standing Order, Defendant files this request for leave to exceed the page 

limit of 20 pages in his responsive motion for summary judgment (Doc. No. 16). Defendant asserts 

that additional pages beyond the page limit were required to fully address Plaintiff’s arguments. 

Plaintiff presented a total of seven issues in her opening motion for summary judgment (two main 

issues with the second issue having six sub-issues) involving multiple impairments having largely

unique sets of facts. In addition, Plaintiff requested multiple remedies in her request for relief that 

also necessitated additional space to address each request for remedy. 

The undersigned worked diligently to eliminate any redundancy and/or unnecessary 

passages, but strongly believes that additional pages were warranted to completely respond to 

Plaintiff’s opening motion for summary judgment and respectfully requests that this Court accept 

Defendant’s brief in this case as it is at 30 pages, filed as Doc. No. 16. Defendant agrees in advance 

that concomitant relief should be given to Plaintiff, if needed, for her response. 

The undersigned apologizes for the lateness of this request for leave to exceed the page 

limit. The undersigned inadverdently missed the instructions in the Court’s scheduling order to 

comply with the page limits in the Court’s standing orders and was made aware of the page limit 

after she had already filed Defendant’s motion for summary judgment. Defendant apologizes for 

the oversight and the tardiness of this request for leave.
