[PROPOSED] ORDER ON THE PARTIES’ JOINT MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE BRIEFS IN EXCESS 

OF PAGE LIMITATIONS AND FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE OPPOSING AND REPLY BRIEFS

REED SMITH LLP 

A limited liability partnership formed in the State of Delaware

This matter is before the Court on Defendant Kraft Heinz Foods Company LLC (“Defendant”)

and Plaintiffs Alex Horn, Lance Aytman, and Keith Hooker’s (“Plaintiffs”) (collectively, the 

“Parties”) Joint Motion for Leave to File Briefs in Excess of Page Limitations and for Extension of 

Time to File Opposing and Reply Briefs. (Doc. 113.) The Parties note that given the “number of 

individual plaintiffs, the eight-plus year period of relevant facts, and the 21 separate federal and state 

law claims at issue in Plaintiffs’ proposed amended Complaint, the Parties require additional pages in 

order to thoroughly and effectively address all of Plaintiffs’ legal claims and to apply the relevant facts 

on summary judgment.” (Id. at 3.) 

Having considered the briefing and good cause appearing, the Court GRANTS the Parties’ 

Joint Motion for Leave to File Briefs in Excess of Page Limitations and for Extension of Time to File 

Opposing and Reply Briefs. See L.R. 233. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

(1) Defendant is permitted up to 10 additional pages for its moving brief for a total of up to

thirty-five (35) pages; 

(2) Plaintiffs are permitted up to 10 additional pages for their opposition brief for a total of up 

to thirty-five (35) pages; 

(3) the deadline for Plaintiffs to file their opposition brief is extended from February 9, 2024 

to February 16, 2024; and 

(4) the deadline for Defendant to file its reply brief is extended from February 26, 2024 to 

March 4, 2023.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
