ORDER SETTING OUT BRIEFING
SCHEDULE
Docs. 21 and 23

13
Appellee has asked for a waiver of the requirement to file documents in the CM/ECF and
14
has requested additional time for briefing. Doc. 23. The motion for waiver of the electronic
15
filing requirements is denied, but the request for additional time is granted. Appellee’s brief is
16
due by 4:00 PM Wednesday, June 12, 2013. Should Appellant wish to file a reply, she must do
17
so by 4:00 PM Monday, July 29, 2013.
18
Appellant has made a motion to waive page limits on her briefs. Doc. 21. The original
19
briefing schedule limited opening briefs to 30 pages and replies to 20 pages. Doc. 7. Appellant’s
20
opening brief is 76 pages long. However, the brief is written out longhand as Appellant does not
21
have access to a typewriter or computer. She estimates that it contains 14,000 words. The court
22
estimates that her brief is the equivalent of 40 typewritten, double spaced pages (at 350 words per
23
page). Appellant’s violation of the page limits in the brief is excused. However, the court
24
expects any reply to be limited to 45 pages and 9,000 words.
