APPLICATION
Plaintiff Sharidan Stiles (“Stiles”) hereby applies for an order allowing Stiles to exceed the

19
page limit for a memorandum of points and authorities in support of the Opposition to Motion
20
21
22

to Dismiss First Amended Complaint.
Stiles respectfully submits that good cause exists to allow her to exceed the twenty

23

(25) page limitation because the nature of the motion to dismiss, involving both federal claims

24

and state claims, the 25-page length of the moving brief and accompanying request for judicial

25

notice render it impossible to address the issues raised by Defendants’ motion within the page

26

limitation. Despite a good faith effort by Plaintiff to comply with the page limitation, it was

27
impossible to do so while sufficiently addressing all the necessary issues in 25 pages. Based

upon the foregoing, Plaintiff submits that good cause exists, and thus, the Court should grant
this Application.
