KENNETH JEROME PACKNETT,

Plaintiff,

v.

R. WINGO, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 09-cv-00327-YGR (PR) 

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF 

LEAVE TO FILE OVERSIZED BRIEF 

IN OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANTS’

MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

This is a civil rights case brought by a pro se prisoner under 24 U.S.C. § 1983. Defendants 

have filed a motion for summary judgment. Dkt. 108. On December 8, 2014, Plaintiff filed an 

opposition to that motion, however, the brief is twenty-eight pages long, in violation of Local Civil 

Rule 7-4(b), which limits briefs to twenty-five pages absent express leave of the Court. Plaintiff 

has also filed 222 pages of exhibits in support of his opposition.

Before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion for leave to file an oversized brief. Dkt. 125.

Good cause appearing, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff leave to file an oversized brief limited 

to twenty-eight pages for his opposition and 222 pages for his supporting exhibits. The Clerk of 

the Court shall docket Plaintiff’s opposition and any attachments thereto as filed by the Court on 

the date it was received, December 8, 2014. 

Defendants have since filed a reply brief; therefore, the motion is deemed submitted as of 

the date the reply was filed, December 22, 2014. No hearing will be held on the motion unless the 

Court so orders at a later date.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
