Pending before the Court is a motion by Defendant Alessi & Koenig to file an oversized

17

motion. See Docket No. 42. That request relates to a two-page motion and a 49-page memorandum.

18

Docket Nos. 44, 46.1 All motions other than for summary judgment are limited to 24 pages. Local

19

Rule 7-3(b). Requests to exceed those page limits are disfavored, and will not be routinely granted.

20

Local Rule 7-3(c). To establish grounds for filing excess pages, the movant must establish good

21

cause. Id. Good cause is only established through a detailed explanation of the reasons for the

22

additional pages requested. Id.

Case No. 2:16-cv-00498-JCM-NJK
ORDER
(Docket Nos. 42, 44)

23

The pending request for excess pages relies on conclusory assertions that the issues in this

24

case are “complex,” that there are “billions of dollars” at stake that require extensive briefing, and

25

that movant cannot adequately brief the issues in 24 pages. See Docket No. 42 at 3; see also Docket

26
27

1

The filing of a separate motion and memorandum violates the Local Rules. See Local Rule
7-2(a) (“The motion and supporting memorandum of points and authorities must be combined into
a single document that complies with the page limits in LR 7-3”).

1

No. 43. Such conclusory offerings are plainly insufficient to warrant filing an oversized motion and

2

memorandum.

3

Accordingly, the motion for leave to file an oversized motion (Docket No. 42) is hereby

4

DENIED. Because the motion and memorandum for non-monetary status (Docket Nos. 44, 46) fail

5

to comply with the page limitations established in the local rules, they are hereby STRICKEN.

6

Defendant Alessi & Koenig may renew its request for relief by filing a renewed motion and

7

memorandum as a single document that complies with the local rules.

8

IT IS SO ORDERED.
