AND RELATED COUNTERCLAIM.

19
On April 6, 2017, the United States intends to file a motion to dismiss and/or for summary

20

21 judgment on plaintiff’s claim in chief, along with a motion for summary judgment on the United States’
22 counterclaim. Given that two motions will be filed, counsel is concerned that it will be unable to keep
23 its memorandum of points and authorities in support of its motions within the 20-page limit specified by
24 the Court’s May 19, 2016 pretrial scheduling order, ECF 103. Accordingly, the United States
25 respectfully requests that its page limitation for these motions be increased to 35 pages. Counsel will
26 make all reasonable attempts to keep its points and authorities as short as possible.
