Defendants submit that given the number and complexity of legal and evidentiary issues that they must address in their Renewed Motion, the current 40-page limitation (combined for Defendants’ opening and reply briefs) under the Civil Local Rules is insufficient. Defendants therefore respectfully request that the Court grant Defendants’ Miscellaneous Administrative Motion and increase the combined page limitation for Defendants’ opening and reply briefs by 10 pages to a total of 50 pages (whereby Defendants would allocate their additional 10 pages between their opening and reply briefs), and that Plaintiffs likewise be granted 10 additional pages for their opposition brief. Pursuant to Civil L.R. 7-11(a), counsel for Defendants met and conferred with counsel for Plaintiffs regarding Defendants’ Miscellaneous Administrative Motion. Counsel for Plaintiffs stated that they take no position with respect to Defendants’ Miscellaneous Administrative Motion. See Declaration of Roy Taub ¶ 2, Ex. A.
