DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE EXCESS PAGES

Although Local Rule of Civil Procedure 7.2(e), as incorporated by Local Rule of Criminal 

Procedure 47.1, provides that replies to motions ordinarily should not exceed 17 pages in length, 

Defendants’ respectfully request permission to file excess pages in their Response in Opposition 

to the government’s Motion in Limine to Determine Admissibility of Evidence (Dkt. 931). The 

government’s Motion (Dkt. 931) was 26 pages in length and sought to admit five categories of 

evidence and 875 individual trial exhibits and attachments. Defendants seek permission from 

this Court to exceed the page limit for their response in opposition to adequately respond to each 

of the five categories of evidence and the 875 exhibits and attachments for which the government 

is seeking a pretrial admissibility ruling.

Excludable delay under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(1) will not occur as a result of this Motion or 

of an order based on this Motion.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED this 8th day of June 2020,

BIENERT | KATZMAN PC
