IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS, EASTERN DIVISION MIKE HARRIS and JEFF DUNSTAN, individually and on behalf of a class of similarly situated individuals, ) ) ) ) Plaintiffs, ) ) v. ) ) COMSCORE, INC., a Delaware corporation, ) ) Defendant. ) __________________________________________) Case No. 1:11-5807 Hon. James F. Holderman PLAINTIFFS’ UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE OVERSIZED BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF SUPPLEMENTAL MOTION FOR CLASS CERTIFICATION Plaintiffs Mike Harris and Jeff Dunstan (“Plaintiffs”), by and through their undersigned counsel, respectfully move the Court for leave to file an oversized brief in support of their supplemental motion for class certification. In support, Plaintiffs state as follows: 1. Pursuant to this Court’s October 29, 2012 Order, (Dkt. 137), Plaintiffs’ supplemental motion for class certification is due on January 15, 2013. Under Local Rule 7-1, Plaintiffs’ brief in support of their supplemental motion for class certification is limited to 15 pages in length. 2. While Plaintiffs are still drafting and finalizing the brief in support of their supplemental motion for class certification, Plaintiffs believe that—particularly in light of the extensive class discovery conducted by the Parties over the past year—it will be difficult to set forth the relevant facts and make the necessary arguments in 15 pages or less. 3. Plaintiffs have, and will, make their greatest efforts to keep the brief as short and succinct as possible. However, Plaintiffs believe in good faith that the filing of a brief in excess 1 of 15 pages will be necessary to fully and effectively set forth both (1) a thorough factual record and (2) all arguments in support of class certification. 4. While Plaintiffs are presently unable to attach their finalized brief to this Motion (i.e., in compliance with this Court’s Standing Order regarding motion practice) and do not know at this time precisely how many pages they will need for their brief in support of their supplemental motion for class certification, Plaintiffs are confident that they can fully and effectively present their brief in 30 pages or less. 5. Plaintiffs’ counsel has conferred with counsel for Defendant, and Plaintiffs’ counsel is authorized to state that Defendant has no objection to Plaintiffs’ request to submit a brief in excess of 15 pages, but not exceeding 30 pages, so long as Defendant, in turn, is granted leave to file a response brief also in excess of 15 pages, but not exceeding 30 pages. Plaintiffs have no objection to Defendant filing such an oversize response brief. WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request that this Honorable Court enter an Order granting them leave to file a memorandum of law in support of their supplemental motion for class certification in excess of 15 pages, but not to exceed 30 pages. // // // // 2 Dated: January 7, 2013 Respectfully submitted, MIKE HARRIS AND JEFF DUNSTAN, INDIVIDUALLY AND ON BEHALF OF A CLASS OF SIMILARLY SITUATED INDIVIDUALS, By: /s/ Benjamin S.
