United States of America,

the otherwise applicable page limitation. The motion to dismiss and the government’s response 

raise numerous serious constitutional issues regarding the defendants’ right to counsel of 

choice under the Fifth and Sixth Amendments to the United States Constitution. Defendants 

Padilla and Vaught believe that it will serve the interests of judicial efficiency to address these 

matters in a joint reply rather than in two separate replies.1 The defendants therefore 

respectfully request this Court, pursuant to LRCrim 12.1 and LRCiv 7.2(e)(2), to permit the 

defendants to file a joint reply and exceed the otherwise applicable page limitation.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED this 8th day of March, 2019.
