TO THIS HONORABLE COURT, ALL PARTIES AND THEIR
ATTORNEYS OF RECORD:

3

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that pursuant to Local Rule 7-11, Plaintiffs

4

Marlene Perez and Rose Cerisano (“Plaintiffs”), hereby move this Court for an

5

order granting leave for Plaintiffs to file a Memorandum in support of their

6

Opposition to Defendant John Muir Health’s (“Defendant”) Motion for Summary

7

Judgment, or, alternatively, for leave to file a separate pleading, to not exceed five

8

pages, containing Plaintiffs’ objections to the evidence offered by Defendant in

9

support of its Motion for Summary Judgment.

10

Good cause exists for the relief sought. Northern District Local Rule 7-4(b)

11

limits briefs to 25 pages. However, Local Rule 7-11 permits a party to move for

12

administrative relief to exceed the page limit.

13

support of its Motion for Summary Judgment includes seven separate declarations.

14

(Docs. #70-1 through 70-11.) (Declaration of Elizabeth L. Bradley [“Bradley

15

Decl.”], ¶ 2.]

16

Plaintiffs have made an earnest effort to conform to the page limit specified in

17

Local Rule 7-4(b).

18

evidentiary objections cause the Opposition to exceed 25 pages. (Id.)

Plaintiffs’ counsel has attempted to informally resolve this issue with
Defendant’s counsel by securing a stipulation to the relief requested herein.
(Bradley Decl., ¶ 4, Ex. 1.) However, Defendant’s counsel declined to stipulate to
the requested relief. (Id.) Accordingly, Plaintiffs request this Court grant them
leave to file a Memorandum in support of their Opposition with an additional five
pages, or, alternatively, to file a separate pleading, not to exceed five pages,
containing Plaintiffs’ evidentiary objections.
