No. 1:15-cv-00420-DAD-SAB

ORDER GRANTING RELIEF FROM PAGE
LIMITATIONS AND EXTENDING
DEADLINE FOR FILING REPLY BRIEF
(Doc. No. 143)

Defendants.
On January 26, 2017, the parties to this action filed a stipulation seeking relief from the

18

applicable page limitations with respect to briefing related to the motion for class certification in

19

this matter. (Doc. No. 143.) Specifically, the parties have requested the page limit for the

20

opening brief and opposition brief be expanded to sixty-five (65) pages, and the page limit for the

21

reply brief be expanded to twenty-five (25) pages. The parties have also requested that plaintiffs

22

be granted an extension of time of seven (7) days to file their reply brief on or before March 20,

23

2017. These extensions are necessary because of the size of this motion, plaintiffs having alleged

24

twelve separate causes of action and seeking certification of twelve distinct subclasses, all of

25

which would contain hundreds or thousands of workers. (Doc. No. 143 at 2.)

26

Good cause having been shown,

27

1. The opening brief for plaintiffs’ motion for class certification shall be no more than

28

sixty-five (65) pages in length;
