Dated: January 11, 2010 ELIZABETH D. LAPORTE United States Magistrate Judge v. COUNTY OF SONOMA, Defendants. / ERIC JAMES BAKER, Plaintiff, No. 08-03433 EDL ORDER REGARDING PLAINTIFF'S ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE OPPOSITION BRIEF IN EXCESS OF 25 PAGES IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff has filed an administrative motion requesting that he be allowed to file an Opposition to Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment of up to 45 pages. Having considered the papers, the Court GRANTS IN PART AND DENIES IN PART the administrative request. There is no justification for Plaintiff having waited until one business day before the Opposition was due to request a stipulation from Defendants or to file this administrative motion. However, in an abundance of caution and to ensure that Plaintiff is adequately able to make all arguments in opposition to the Motion for Summary Judgment, the Court will allow Plaintiff to file an Opposition of no more that 35 pages. Any such opposition shall be filed today, January 11, 2010, the existing deadline for the Opposition. If they believe it is necessary, Defendants are allowed five additional pages for their Reply, which remains due on January 18, 2010.
