I. Good Cause Exists For the Requested Relief.

Plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary approval is due today, May 11, 2010. While plaintiffs have

attempted in earnest and good faith to limit the points and authorities that support their motion to 25

pages, the issues to be addressed by the motion are simply too many and too complex to fit within that

page limit. The brief includes a detailed discussion of the nature of the case and history of

proceedings, a description of the settlement terms, a motion to certify a settlement class, a summary

of the proposed claims administration procedure, including class notice, and a description of the

attorneys’ fees and class representative enhancement awards being sought, including a summary of

the justification therefore. Plaintiffs have edited their points and authorities to the maximum extent

possible, while still providing enough information so that this Court can make a meaningful

determination on the merits, as well as provide proper notice of the relief being sought, and still the

points and authorities total 30 pages. Therefore, plaintiffs respectfully requests leave to file points and

authorities in support of their motion for preliminary approval up to 30 pages in length.

II. Defendants Have No Objection to the Requested Relief.

Defense counsel has no objection to, and stipulates to the relief requested herein, which

stipulation is set forth below. 

Wherefore, plaintiffs, on behalf of themselves and the proposed plaintiff class, seek leave of

court to file a memorandum of points and authorities in support of their motion for preliminary

approval up to 30 pages in length, and for such additional relief as this Court shall deem proper.
