IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAMES LORAN QUINN, 

 

Plaintiff, 

 

vs. 

 

FRESNO COUNTY SHERIFF, et al.,

 

Defendants. 

 /

Case No. 1:10-cv-1617 LJO BAM

 

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’ EX

PARTE MOTION TO EXCEED REPLY

PAGE LIMIT

(Doc. 94)

On May 16, 2012, Defendants County of Fresno and David Alanis (collectively “Defendants”)

filed an ex parte motion to exceed the ten-page limit for reply briefs set forth by this Court’s standing

order. Defendants claim that unless the page limit is extended to 15 pages, they will be prevented from 

addressing all the issues in this complex, multi-claim action and will be prevented from asserting all

their procedural objections to Plaintiff James Loran Quinn’s (“Plaintiff’s”) opposition. This Court is

reluctant to grant Defendants’ request; this Court permits briefs in excess of set page limits only where

necessary and does not treat requests to do so lightly. Nevertheless, good cause appearing and in light

of Defendants’ relatively modest request for five additional pages, the Court GRANTS Defendants’ ex

parte motion. Defendants are forewarned, however, that under no circumstances should their reply

brief exceed 15 pages. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
