MOTION FOR ORDER CONTINUING

APRIL 6, 2007 DEADLINE TO FILE

DISPOSITIVE MOTIONS

Before the Court is defendant’s Motion for Order Continuing April 6, 2007 Deadline

for Filing Dispositive Motions, filed March 2, 2007, and plaintiff’s opposition thereto.

Having reviewed the papers filed in support of and in opposition to the motion, the

Court, for the reasons stated by plaintiff, hereby DENIES the motion. Moreover, the basis

16 (referring to defendant’s intention to file “motions related to prior art, noninfringement,

and damages”); see also id. at 2:22-23 (referring to defendant’s intention to file “motions

relating to validity of the ‘031 patent”).) The Local Rules of this District provide that, absent

leave of court, a party may not file a summary judgment motion exceeding 25 pages. See

Civil L.R. 7-2(b), 7-11. A party may not evade the 25-page limit by merely filing multiple

motions that address different issues.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
