The Court has received the parties’ Joint Request for Clarification of Summary Judgment
Procedure, and it issues the following rulings:
1.
The parties shall file four briefs total, and Plaintiffs will file the opening brief.
16
Therefore, the parties shall proceed with Option One, and they may address which party bears the
17
ultimate burden of proof on any issue in their briefs.
18
2.
The parties’ understanding of the page limitations associated with the motions is
19
incorrect. Although the Court has directed the parties to proceed by way of cross-motions, when it
20
follows that procedure, it does not deviate from its general page limitations, which limits motions
21
for summary judgment to 25 pages. See Civil Standing Order ¶ 9. However, given the number of
22
issues involved, the Court will sua sponte grant the parties some additional pages to present their
23
arguments to the Court.
24
Accordingly, Plaintiffs’ opening brief shall not exceed 30 pages. Defendants’ cross-
25
motion and opposition shall not exceed 45 pages, Plaintiffs’ opposition and reply shall not exceed
26
40 pages, and Defendants’ reply shall not exceed 25 pages. In addition, the Court admonishes the
27
parties that any footnotes must be in 12 point font, and all objections to evidence must be
28
contained within the parties’ briefs. See N.D. Civ. L.Rs. 3-4(c)(2); 7-3(a), (c).
