STIPULATED ORDER GRANTING LEAVE TO FILE OVERLENGTH REPLY MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT 

OF MOTIONS FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AND FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTIONS

On January 27, 2010, Plaintiffs San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority and 

Westlands Water District (“San Luis Plaintiffs”) filed a motion for preliminary injunction, 

supported by a memorandum 24 pages in length and numerous declarations. Several parties 

joined in that motion and filed additional declarations. On February 22, 2010, San Luis 

Plaintiffs filed a supplemental motion for preliminary injunction supported by an additional 

memorandum 25 pages in length plus additional declarations. Several parties joined in that 

motion as well and at least one party filed an additional declaration. In addition, San Luis 

Plaintiffs filed a 10-page memorandum in support of their second motion for a temporary 

restraining order. 

On March 5, 2010, the parties stipulated to allow Federal Defendants and DefendantIntervenors to file consolidated overlong memoranda in opposition to the pending motions, not 

to exceed 45 pages. (Doc. 262.) On March 15, 2010, Federal Defendants filed a 45-page 

memorandum, with three supporting declarations, and Defendant-Intervenors filed a 45-page 

memorandum, with four supporting declarations. 

San Luis Plaintiffs’ reply memoranda must be filed by March 22, 2010. Rather than file 

three separate reply memoranda, each of which would be subject to a 15-page limit, San Luis 

Plaintiffs prefer to file a single consolidated reply memorandum, not to exceed 25 pages. 

Accordingly, San Luis Plaintiffs seek leave to file an overlength brief on March 22, 

2010, of not more than 25 pages. 

San Luis Plaintiffs have contacted all counsel who represent that they do not oppose this 

request. In light of the non-opposition, San Luis Plaintiffs hereby submit this request in the 

form of a stipulated order, as follows: 

For good cause, including the reasons stated above, it is ordered that San Luis Plaintiffs 

may file a consolidated reply memorandum on the pending motions for temporary restraining 

order and for preliminary injunctions not to exceed 25 pages.
