MOTION, STIPULATION, AND ORDER 

FOR ADMINISTRATIVE RELIEF RE 

PERMISSION TO EXCEED PAGE LIMIT 

ON REPLY BRIEF 

[Civil L.R. 7-3(c) AND 7-11] 

Date: February 13, 2006 

Time: 1:00 PM 

Judge: Hon. Sandra B. Armstrong 

Dept: 1301 Clay St., Oakland, CA 

Action Filed: January 11, 2006 

Trial Date: July 23, 2007 

AND RELATED COUNTERCLAIM 

ACTION REQUESTED 

Permission for moving party Martha Co. (“Martha”) to file a twenty-five (25) page reply 

brief on its Motion for Order to Show Cause Why County of Marin Should Not Be Held in Civil 

Contempt and Sanctioned for Violation of Judgment (filed herewith). 

REASON FOR REQUEST 

After this Court’s order of September 8, 2006, the parties advised the Court that Martha 

requested the opportunity to move for an order compelling the County to comply with its 

Case 4:06-cv-00200-SBA Document 86 Filed 12/05/06 Page 1 of 3

obligations under the Judgment pursuant to F.R.Civ.P. 70, and that the County would seek relief 

from its obligations pursuant to F.R.Civ.P. 60. Joint Case Management Statement, filed 

September 27, 2006, at 3:19-25. The parties subsequently agreed to a joint briefing schedule for 

this purpose. However, the County has since decided, instead of filing a separate motion, to seek 

relief from the Judgment in response to Martha’s motion seeking to compel compliance. 

Declaration of Gordon D. McAuley Confirming Meet and Confer Compliance, filed herewith. 

The County’s desire for relief from the Judgment is the crux of this entire case. If the 

County were to file a separate Rule 60 motion for this purpose, Martha would be entitled to a 25-

page opposition brief. However, once the two matters are joined on a single motion, absent 

administrative relief, Martha would otherwise have only a fifteen-page reply brief to 

simultaneously defend the validity of the Judgment and defend its motion to compel compliance. 

Because the continuing validity of the Judgment is the essential issue in this entire case, Martha 

respectfully requests that it be allowed ten extra pages on its reply brief, so that both matters 

(validity and compliance) may be competently addressed. 

SO STIPULATED.
