Attorneys for Plaintiff

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

United States of America,

Plaintiff, 

v. 

Michael Lacey, et al.,

Defendants.

No. CR-18-422-PHX-SMB

UNITED STATES’ MOTION FOR 

LEAVE TO EXCEED PAGE LIMIT

The United States moves for leave to exceed the page limit for its Response to 

Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss Indictment (Doc. 561). A response brief is limited to 17 

pages by the Local Rules. See LRCiv 7.2(e)(1). Defendants sought and received leave to 

file an over-length 45-page motion. (Docs. 540, 560.) In the government’s first unopposed

motion to extend the deadline for its response, it requested leave to file a response that was 

equal in length, i.e., a brief that does not exceed 45 pages. (Doc. 554 at 2.) In its Order 

granting the government’s unopposed motion, the Court limited Defendants’ reply to 20 

pages, but was silent as to the length of the government’s response. (Doc. 567.) Out of an 

abundance of caution, and to respond fully to Defendants’ Motion, the government

respectfully seeks leave to file the 45-page Response lodged herewith. 

A proposed form of Order is attached.

Respectfully submitted this 12th day of June, 2019.
