EX PARTE APPLICATION FOR LEAVE TO FILE ADDITIONAL PAGES

- 2 -

Good cause exists to grant defendant relief from the Order and allow defendant to submit

a MPA which does not exceed 40 pages because the number of plaintiffs (3), number of claims

for relief (10), complexity of issues and diversity of issues render it impossible for defendant to

adequately address these issues even when addressed in the most concise and succinct manner

possible. The complexity and diversity of issues is evidenced by the more than 3,000 pages of

documents that has been produced and exchanged by the parties in this matter.

In addition, the underlying facts are extremely lengthy. This is due in large part to

plaintiff Jason Johnson’s numerous Internal Affairs investigations, EEOC complaints and

administrative hearings. Further briefing on the separate factual allegations of the remaining two

plaintiff’s further lengthens the amount of factual briefing necessary.

Defendant requests that this Court grant its application to file additional pages and

consider the entire MPA in support of defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment or, in the

alternative, Partial Summary Judgment.
