require that Defendant devote increased space and time to adequately address Plaintiff's 

arguments with references to the record. 

3. I am mindful of this Court’s Standing Order limiting reply pleadings in 

summary judgment motions to 10 pages. However, in this action, it would not be possible to 

present a meaningful reply in 10 pages. Moreover, Plaintiff violated this Court's Standing Order 

by filing a brief in excess of page limits without leave of court. 

4. Defendant requests permission from this Court to Reply to Plaintiff's 

opposition to the summary judgment motion not to exceed 15 pages (excluding face page and 

tables). 

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America 

that the foregoing is true and correct and that this declaration is executed on October 24, 2007, at 

Fresno, California.
