WHEREAS, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Plaintiffs will, on January 28, 2015,

9 anticipation of the filing on January 28, 2015;
WHEREAS, the Court’s Civil Local Rules provide for a 25-page limitation for motions

10

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs anticipate that they will require additional pages beyond the 25-

18 discussion of the legal analysis relevant to the upcoming Motion;
19

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs request an additional 5 pages for their Motion;
