PLAINTIFF’S EX PARTE

APPLICATION FOR LEAVE TO FILE 

BRIEF IN EXCESS OF 25 PAGES AND 

PROPOSED ORDER ALLOWING 

FILING OF OPPOSITION BRIEF IN 

EXCESS OF 25 PAGES

Plaintiff STEVEN T. KIRSCH hereby applies for leave of Court ex parte for an Order 

allowing him to file a brief in excess of 25 pages in response to five 12b6 Motions filed by 

defendants and set for hearing before this Court on January 24, 2006. Specifically, plaintiff 

requests permission to file a memorandum of no more than 27 pages. 

This request is made pursuant to Local Rule 7-4(b), which provides the authority for the 

request of permission to file a brief greater than 25 pages:

Unless the Court expressly orders otherwise pursuant to a party’s request made prior to the 

due date, briefs or memoranda filed with opposition papers may not exceed 25 pages of text 

. . .

The Hon. Saundra B. Armstrong’s Standing Order ¶ C provides further authority for this 

request:

Opening and opposition briefs exceeding twenty-five (25) pages and reply briefs exceeding

fifteen (15) pages may be filed only with leave of the Court seven (7) days before the filing 

date of the motion. See Civil L.R. 7-4(b).

As plaintiff could not have anticipated the need to file a 27 page brief prior to the filing of 

the Motion, plaintiff requests leave of Court greater than 7 days before the filing of the Opposition 

to the motion. The Opposition is due on January 3, 2006.

The undersigned counsel has advised counsel for defendants that such an ex parte request 

will be made to this Court. Defendants’ counsel has stated that it does not oppose the request. The 

requested Order is necessary to allow plaintiff to present his complete arguments in opposition to 

the Motions. Further “good cause” for the granting of such Order is set forth in the accompanying 

Declaration of John C. Brown. 

Wherefore, plaintiff respectfully requests that the Court allow the filing of a Memorandum 

of 27 pages.
