1 2 3 4 5 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 6 DISTRICT OF NEVADA 7 8 9 CHRISTOPHER A. JONES, 2:07-CV-1088 JCM (GWF) 10 Plaintiff, 11 12 v. 13 N/A N/A DWIGHT NEVEN, et al., 14 Date: Time: Defendant. 15 16 ORDER 17 Presently before the court is pro se plaintiff Christopher A. Jones’ motion to exceed the page 18 limit. (Doc. #281). Also before the court is plaintiff’s motion for order seeking direction upon how 19 to proceed and/or for enlargement of time. (Doc. #278). Defendants Greg Cox, et. al. filed an 20 opposition. (Doc. #279). 21 Plaintiff filed a reply brief in support of his motion for summary judgment. (Doc. #282). 22 This reply brief is 42-pages long, not including attached exhibits. (Doc. #282). However, as a state 23 prisoner, plaintiff is not allowed to use a typewriter, and the reply brief is handwritten. Further, 24 plaintiff included a table of authorities and a table of contents, which take up 9 pages of the reply 25 brief. The court finds good cause to grant plaintiff’s motion to exceed the page limit. 26 Plaintiff’s motion for order asserts that plaintiff is not able to file an opposition to the motion 27 for summary judgment because defendants’ motion for summary judgment cites to document #175-1, 28 James C. Mahan U.S. District Judge 1 and there is no document #175-1. (Doc. #278). In response, defendants note that “[d]ockets #175-1 2 and #175-2 are identical and appear to have at some point been relabeled.” (Doc. #279). Defendants 3 attached a copy of docket #175-1 to their response to plaintiff’s motion for order. (Doc. #279, Ex. 4 1). After defendants filed their opposition attaching a copy of docket #175-1, plaintiff filed an 5 opposition to defendant’s motion for summary judgment on April 25, 2012. (Doc. #280). 6 Accordingly, 7 IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that pro se plaintiff Christopher 8 9 10 11 A. Jones’ motion to exceed the page limit (doc. #281) be, and the same hereby is, GRANTED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for order (doc. #278) be, and the same hereby is, DENIED as moot. DATED April 27, 2012. 12 13 UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 James C. Mahan U.S. District Judge -2-
