SUMMARY JUDGMENT OPPOSITION

AND REPLY BRIEFS

Before the Court is the parties’ stipulation, filed November 27, 2006, by which the

parties request that, with respect to Count One, plaintiffs be permitted to file a 35-page

opposition to defendants’ motion for summary judgment, and that defendants be permitted

to file a 25-page reply to said opposition.

The parties have failed to show good cause exists to alter the applicable page limits. 

Plaintiffs concurrently filed with the stipulation a 24-page opposition to the aboveCase 3:02-cv-03838-MMC Document 188 Filed 11/29/06 Page 1 of 2

referenced motion, and fail to state why an additional eleven pages are necessary.1

Further, the stipulation was not filed until the day the opposition was due, and,

consequently, the request that plaintiffs be permitted to file an amended, oversized

opposition to the motion is, in essence, a request to extend the deadline for filing an

opposition; the parties fail to address how such extension of time will impact the date the

reply will be filed and/or the hearing date.

Accordingly, the stipulation is hereby DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
