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 motion for attorneys’ fees and costs relating to 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 five years of intense, adversarial litigation, the parties reached a proposed 

class action settlement in this action, which the Court preliminary approved on July 6, 2017. Dkt. 

576. Under the Court’s preliminary approval order, Class Counsel’s motion for attorneys’ fees 

and expenses is due on August 7, 2017. Id.

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

to adequately support Class Counsel’s fee petition, Plaintiff’s 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 prolonged extent of these proceedings—currently 

Case: 1:12-cv-05746 Document #: 577 Filed: 08/07/17 Page 1 of 3 PageID #:22616
2 

exceeding 570 docket entries—and need for such additional pages to effectively support the 

motion, he be granted leave to file them as submitted concurrently herewith. 

 WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Charvat respectfully requests leave to file his motion for 

attorneys’ fees and costs in excess of the fifteen pages contemplated under L.R. 7.1. 

Dated: August 7, 2017 Respectfully submitted, 

 PHILIP CHARVAT, on behalf of himself 

 and others similarly situated
