("Amgen"), respectfully moves this Court for leave to file a 29 page Memorandum in Support of its Motion to Compel Production of Documents. Amgen states that it has made a good-faith attempt to address all of the factual and legal bases for their memorandum within the 20-page limit set by Local rule 7.1(b)(4). However, because of the number of the issues raised therein and because Amgen has set forth in the text of its memorandum thirty six (36) of the document requests and responses in dispute as set forth in L.R. 37.1, Amgen requires additional pages to fully address the matter and believes that it will benefit the court in dealing with this matter. Therefore, Amgen respectfully submits that exceeding the page limit by an additional nine pages is reasonable in this instance. WHEREFORE, Amgen respectfully moves this Court for leave to file this over-length Memorandum in Support of its Motion to Compel Production of Documents.
