Plaintiffs seek leave to exceed this Court’s reply briefing limits. This Court treats briefs in

18

excess of page limits as a necessity, not a luxury to be taken lightly. This Court PERMITS plaintiffs to

19

file a reply brief not to exceed 15 pages on the condition that such brief is well-organized, clear and

20

succinct and avoids unnecessary duplication and otherwise complies with this Court’s Local Rules.

21

In addition, this Court ORDERS the parties to provide courtesy copies of their papers to

22

chambers.

23

The district judges of this Court carry the heaviest caseloads in the nation. The magistrate judges

24

of this Court carry lesser caseloads and offer greater availability and flexibility to the parties. The

25

district judges are unable to commit to address actions pending before them given limited resources and

26

the need to prioritize criminal and older civil matters over more recently filed actions. As such, this

27

Court urges the parties to consider the conduct of all further proceedings by a U.S. Magistrate Judge.
