Kristin Perry, et al v. Dennis Hollingsworth, et al Doc. 21 NOS. 09-17241, 09-17551 UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT KRISTIN M. PERRY, et al., Plaintiffs-Appellees, v. DENNIS HOLLINGSWORTH, et al. Defendant-Intervenors-Appellants. Appeal from United States District Court for the Northern District of California Civil Case No. 09-CV-2292 VRW (Honorable Vaughn R. Walker) APPELLANTS'/PETITIONERS' MOTION FOR LEAVE TO EXCEED PAGE LIMITATIONS Andrew P. Pugno LAW OFFICES OF ANDREW P.

Washington, D.C. 20036 (202) 220-9600; (202) 220-9601 Fax Attorneys for Appellants/Petitioners Dockets.Justia.com Pursuant to 9th Cir. R. 32-2, Appellants/Petitioners respectfully seek the Court's leave to file a brief in excess of the ten pages allotted by rule for replies to motions. See Fed. R. App. P. 27(d)(2). Specifically, Appellants/Petitioners respectfully submit that an expanded page limit of 15 pages is warranted and request the Court's leave to file a brief of that length. Appellants' reply brief addresses both the jurisdictional issues implicated by the show-cause briefing and the merits issues relating to the stay application. This Court in its November 20 order permitted Appellees/Respondents to file a brief that exceeded the usual page limits for a single brief in opposition to a motion, and Appellees have filed a brief of 35 pages. We respectfully submit that the same rationale warrants an expansion of the page limits governing Appellants'/Petitioners' reply brief. We therefore request leave to file a reply brief of no more than 15 pages. Dated: November 23, 2009 Respectfully submitted, /s/ Charles J. Cooper Charles J. Cooper Attorney for Appellants -1-
