PLAINTIFFS’ CONSENTED MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE EXCESS PAGES 

Pursuant to Local Rule 7.1, and with Defendants’ consent, Plaintiffs hereby seek leave to 

include 10 additional pages in their Reply in further support of their Motions for Class Relief 

(ECF No. 4), with the Reply totaling 20 pages. 

Good cause supports this motion for leave. Plaintiffs’ original Memorandum in Support 

of their Motions for Class Relief (ECF No. 5) is 25 pages. With leave to file an extra 20 pages, 

Defendants filed a 45-page Opposition (ECF No. 30), together with numerous, voluminous 

exhibits. Plaintiffs here request 10 additional pages for their Reply, beyond the 10 pages allowed 

without leave, to address the many arguments in Defendants’ 45-page Opposition. If Plaintiffs 

are granted leave, then the total number of pages of Plaintiffs’ opening and Reply briefs (45) will 

equal the number of pages of Defendants’ Opposition brief. 

Plaintiffs’ Reply is due in three days, on October 14, 2022.
