On October 9, 2012, Defendants Veronica Villa and Hyatt

16

Summerfield Suites, Pleasanton,1 filed two motions -- one for

17

summary judgment and one for judgment on the pleadings -- totaling

18
over 40 pages in length.

Docket Nos. 70-71, 80-81.

Because their

19
20

motion for judgment on the pleadings is largely duplicative of

21

their summary judgment motion, the Court orders Defendants Villa

22

and Hyatt to re-file these briefs as a single motion by October

23

17, 2012, adhering to the 25-page limit set forth in Civil Local

24

Rule 7-5.

Defendants refer to these parties as “Ana Villa” and
“Lodgeworks, LP.” For the sake of both brevity and consistency,
this order will simply refer to these parties as “Villa” and
“Hyatt.”

Furthermore, the Court orders Plaintiff to file a single

1
2

opposition brief in this matter. Although Defendant Pleasanton

3

Police Department and Defendants Villa and Hyatt have filed

4

separate motions for summary judgment, Plaintiff should respond to

5

both motions in a single brief of no more than 50 pages.

6

Plaintiff’s opposition brief must be submitted by October 25,

7
2012.
