WHEREAS, although Civil Local Rule 7-2 allows for the filing of briefs up to 25 pages in length, this Court's Standing Order limits briefs to 15 pages, except for summary judgment motions and claim construction briefs; and WHEREAS, in connection with the defendants' previous motion to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint for Violations of the Federal Securities Laws, which was granted by the Court without prejudice on December 21, 2009, the Court permitted the parties to file principal briefs up to 25 pages in length, and a reply brief up to 15 pages in length; and WHEREAS, the parties have conferred, and agree that in light of the number and complexity of issues presented by the defendants' anticipated motions to dismiss the Consolidated Amended Complaint for Violations of the Federal Securities Laws, it will be helpful to the parties, and will hopefully be helpful to the Court, to once again permit the parties to file principal briefs on the motions not to exceed 25 pages, and a reply brief not to exceed 15 pages, inclusive of summaries of argument. IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED that, subject to the approval of the Court, the parties may file opening and opposition briefs in this matter not to exceed 25 pages, and a reply brief not to exceed 15 pages, exclusive of title pages, indices of cases, table of contents and exhibits, but inclusive of summaries of argument.
