MINUTE ORDER
_____________________________________________________________________
ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KRISTEN L. MIX
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Unopposed Motion for Leave to File
Overlength Brief [#32]1 (the “Motion”). In the Motion, Plaintiff seeks leave to file a motion
for summary judgment that exceeds the 20-page limit imposed by Judge Moore’s Practice
Standards.2 See Civ. Practice Standard IV.B.2. The Court notes that the Motion also
states that Plaintiff “does not object to a similar extension of the page limit for opposition
briefs,” Motion [#32] at 2, and that the proposed order attached to the Motion includes
proposed modified page limitations for the anticipated response and reply. However, the
Motion only requests expansion of the page limit for the moving brief. Accordingly, the

1

“[#32]” is an example of the convention I use to identify the docket number assigned to
a specific paper by the Court’s case management and electronic case filing system (CM/ECF). I
use this convention throughout this Minute Order.
2

To the extent the Motion concludes by asking for the Court to grant it leave to file an
amended complaint, Motion [#32] at 2-3, the Court finds that this language is inadvertently included,
likely from when Plaintiff filed its Unopposed Motion for Leave to File Amended Complaint [#23],
which was granted on November 8, 2013 [#26]. Accordingly, the Court disregards this request.

1

Court does not address the page limits for the anticipated response and reply herein.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion [#32] is GRANTED. Plaintiff may file a
motion for summary judgment of up to 35 pages. As noted in Judge Moore’s Practice
Standards, the page limitation includes “the motion, cover page, jurisdictional statement,
statement of facts, procedural history, argument, closing, signature block, and all other
matters, except the certificate of service.” Civ. Practice Standard IV.B.2.
