UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

FINISAR CORPORATION,

Plaintiff,

v.

NISTICA, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 13-cv-03345-BLF 

ORDER REGARDING JOINT MOTION

FOR LEAVE TO EXCEED PAGE 

LIMITATIONS FOR ATTORNEYS’ 

FEES MOTION AND OPPOSITION 

[Re: ECF 730]

Before the Court is the parties’ joint motion to exceed the page limitations for Defendant 

Nistica, Inc.’s (“Nistica”) motion for attorneys’ fees and Plaintiff Finisar Corporation’s (“Finisar”) 

opposition thereto. ECF 730. The Court’s Standing Order currently limits each party to 10 pages. 

The parties request that the Court increase this limit by 5 for each side. Id. at 1. The parties argue 

that the motion for attorneys’ fees and opposition thereto must address numerous legal arguments 

and significant facts which occurred over the course of a three-year litigation, and that the 

additional pages will assist each party in the presentation of its arguments. Id.

The Court finds that the parties have shown good cause and GRANTS the joint motion. 

Nistica will be permitted to file a 15 page motion for attorneys’ fees, and Finisar will be permitted 

to file a 15 page opposition. The limit for Nistica’s reply remains at 5 pages. Briefing must be 

double-spaced in Times New Roman font, and all written text, including footnotes and quotations, 

must be no less than 12-point type.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 1, 2017
