MOTION FOR PAGE EXTENSION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER CASE NO. 3:15-cv-00489-VC

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT, pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-11, Defendant PGA 

TOUR, Inc. (the “TOUR”), by and through its counsel of record, hereby seeks leave of this Court 

to file a Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint and Memorandum of Points and 

Authorities in Support Thereof (“Brief”) in excess of the 15-page limit prescribed by ¶ 19 of this 

Court’s Civil Standing Order.

Specifically, the First Amended Complaint contains seven different causes of action that 

implicate complicated issues including the Sherman Antitrust Act and the Lanham Act, as well as 

various state law claims that likely are governed by laws of numerous different states. In light of 

the numerous issues that must be addressed in the TOUR’s Brief, the TOUR respectfully requests 

that the page limit for its Brief be extended to 25 pages. The TOUR will submit its Brief on or 

before August 21, 2015 and will make every effort to submit a Brief that is concise as possible.

Plaintiffs do not consent to this request. In the event the Court grants the TOUR’s request 

for a page extension, however, Plaintiffs request a comparable extension for their opposition brief, 

which the TOUR does not oppose.
