Reply To Appellant’s Opposition
To United States’ Motion For A
Word Limit Extension And Stay of
Briefing Schedule

for the Third Circuit

Dear Ms. Waldron and Counsel:
The United States submits this letter in reply to appellant’s opposition to the
motion for a word limit extension to 26,500 words and a stay of the briefing
schedule pending resolution of that motion. The parties have conferred with each
other, and have reached a limited agreement concerning the outstanding motion,
which agreement is described below:
1. Defendant Auernheimer has consented to an extension of time until
September 20, 2013 for the Government to file its responsive brief in this appeal.
That extension of time would give the Government the same eight weeks of
additional time to file its principal brief that Mr. Auernheimer received.
2. Accordingly, the United States withdraws its request to stay the briefing
schedule and instead requests that its motion be deemed a motion for an extension
of time until September 20, 2013. The United States will not seek any extensions
beyond September 20th absent extraordinary circumstances.
3. Mr. Auernheimer continues to object to the Government’s request for an
additional 12,500 words to respond to the four additional briefs (containing 25,021
words) filed by the amici. The Government maintains its position that the request
is reasonable and should be granted.
4. If that request is granted, in whole or in part, the parties agree that Mr.
Auernheimer should receive an expanded word limit for his reply brief. The
Government proposes that his reply brief be one-half of whatever expanded word
limit this Court imposes on the Government’s brief. This is based on the
assumption that amici will not receive permission to file individual responses, and
that Mr. Auernheimer will speak on their behalf to the extent necessary.
Respectfully submitted,
PAUL J. FISHMAN
United States Attorney
