UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA NASSER AL-AULAQI, Plaintiff, No. 10-cv-1469 (JDB) v. BARACK H. OBAMA, et al., Defendants. UNOPPOSED MOTION TO FILE EXCESS PAGES Plaintiff Nasser Al-Aulaqi hereby moves for an extension of the page limit for Plaintiff's memorandum in opposition to Defendants' Motion to Dismiss and in reply to Defendant's Opposition to Plaintiff's Motion for Preliminary Injunction (dkt. 15).

Counsel for the parties have conferred, and Defendants' counsel do not oppose this motion. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that the Court enter the attached order, granting Plaintiff leave to file a memorandum in opposition to Defendants' Motion to Dismiss and in reply to Defendant's Opposition to Plaintiff's Motion for Preliminary Injunction that is no more than 55 pages in length. Respectfu lly submitted, /s/ Ben Wizner Ben Wizner (pro hac vice)
