MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE EXCESS PAGES

Plaintiff Philip Charvat, by and through his attorneys, respectfully moves this Court for 

leave to file excess pages in reference to his unopposed motion for preliminary approval of the 

class action settlement of this action. In support of this motion, Plaintiff states as follows:

1. This class action seeks redress for prerecorded telemarketing calls made by or on 

behalf of Defendants in alleged violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”), 

47 U.S.C. § 227.

2. After nearly five years of intense, adversarial litigation, the parties have reached a 

proposed class action settlement, and Plaintiff is filing his unopposed motion for preliminary 

approval of the settlement, pursuant to this Court’s order. DE 568.

3. In including the detailed analysis of the facts and law necessary to adequately 

support his motion for preliminary approval, Plaintiff’s motion (filed concurrently with this 

motion) exceeds the 15-page limit set by L.R. 7.1—totaling 23 pages excluding the cover page, 

tables, and certificate of service. Plaintiff respectfully requests that, given the importance and 

need for such additional pages as to the proposed class action settlement of this action, he be 

granted leave to file them as submitted concurrently herewith.
