SANTEYA DANYELL WILLIAMS; MARY RUTH SCOTT; KAREN LATREECE COLEMAN; PRISCILLA BUNTON, and ALYCE DENISE PAYNE, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated , Plaintiffs, vs. CITY OF ANTIOCH, Defendant.

Case No. C08-02301 SBA ORDER GRANTING ANTIOCH'S ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION FOR LEAVE TO EXCEED PAGE LIMIT FOR OPPOSITION TO PLAINTIFFS' MOTION FOR CLASS CERTIFICATION [N.D. CAL. L.R. 7-11] Opposition Due: Class Certification Hearing Date: December 4, 2009 January 12, 2010

Defendant City of Antioch's motion for leave to file an opposition brief of 40 pages in length to Plaintiffs' motion for class certification per N.D. Cal. Civil Local Rule 7-11, came before this Court. Good cause having been shown, and after full consideration of the moving papers and supporting documents, and any opposition and opposing arguments, the Court finds that Defendants' motion is hereby GRANTED. The Court finds that an increase of the page limitation for Defendant City of Antioch's opposing brief by 15 pages, to a total of 40 pages, is reasonable to allow Defendant City of Antioch a fair and adequate opportunity to respond to Plaintiffs' motion for class certification.
