Case No. 07 CV 3371 Judge Manning Magistrate Judge Brown

DEENDANTS' AGREED JOINT MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE REPLY BRIEF IN EXCESS OF PAGE LIMITATION Defendants Google, Inc., Oversee.net, Sedo LLC, Dotster, Inc., aka RevenueDirect.com, and Internet Reit, Inc. d/b/a Ireit, Inc. (collectively "Defendants"), by their attorneys, jointly move this Honorable Court for leave to file a Reply Memorandum in Support of their Consolidated Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs' Third Amended Complaint that does not exceed twenty (20) pages. Plaintiffs have agreed to this motion. In support of the motion, Defendants state: 1. On April 14, 2008, this Court encouraged the five defendants in this case to "make every effort" to file a consolidated motion to dismiss Plaintiffs' Third Amended Complaint, rather than individual motions. The Court subsequently granted Defendants' agreed joint motion for leave to file a consolidated memorandum of law of thirty-five (35) pages. Defendants filed their consolidated motion to dismiss and supporting memorandum on May 2, 2008. Plaintiffs filed a thirty-four (34) page response to the motion on May 16, 2008. Defendants' consolidated reply memorandum is due on May 30, 2008. 2. Due to the length of the Third Amended Complaint, the number of Defendants represented in the consolidated memorandum, and the number and complexity of the legal issues

involved as demonstrated in the prior round of briefing on Plaintiffs' First Amended Complaint, Defendants respectfully request that they be given leave to exceed the fifteen (15) page limit set forth in Local Rule 7.1 so that they may file a reply memorandum of law of no more than twenty (20) pages. 3. Plaintiffs' counsel has agreed to this request. WHEREFORE, Defendants respectfully request that this Court allow them leave to file a reply memorandum of no more than twenty (20) pages to support their Consolidated Motion to Dismiss the Third Amended Complaint.
