ORDER RE ADMINISTRATIVE

MA LABORATORIES, INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Plaintiffs request a two-week extension of the October 3 deadline to file their motion for

17

class certification. Defendants shall file a response not to exceed three pages by OCTOBER 1 AT

18

5:00 P.M. To this extent, the administrative motion to shorten time is GRANTED. No replies,

19

please.

20

Plaintiffs also move to consolidate and increase page limits on their expected Rule 23 and

21

FLSA certification motions. Plaintiffs incorrectly assert that they are “entitled” to bring separate

22

motions on each issue. Moreover, the motion fails to explain with specificity why additional

23

pages of briefing are necessary. The motion is accordingly DENIED. Plaintiffs may bring one

24

certification motion only. Normal page limits will apply.

26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
