         RE: Brett Kandell, et al. v. Dror Niv, et al.
             C.A. No. 11812-VCG

Dear Counsel:

        It was brought to my attention today that the parties have filed a Stipulation Extending
the Word Limit and a request for an Order extending the word limit to 16,000 words per brief. I
also note that the Opening Brief is due on Monday, October 17. Rather than throw the briefing
schedule into turmoil, I have granted the Order to extend the word limit. Please be aware,
however, that a motion to extend the word limit should be brought to the presiding judge’s
attention in sufficient time for him to consider the request, accompanied by a statement of good
cause. Presenting the Court with a Morton’s Fork—blow up the briefing schedule or accede to
the request—should, in the future, be avoided.

         To the extent that the foregoing requires an Order to take effect, IT IS SO ORDERED.

                                                Sincerely,

                                                /s/ Sam Glasscock III

                                                Vice Chancellor
