United States v. PokerStars, et. ai,
11 Civ. 2564 (LBS)

Dear Judge Sand:
The Government writes to respectfully request an enlargement of the page limit
for its reply memorandum of law in further support of its motion to strike the claim and
counterclaim of Adam Webb, an online poker player, The 17-page reply brief, filed yesterday,
addresses arguments and issues raised in Webb's opposition that were not included in Webb's
claim, and accordingly, the Government seeks a modest enlargement of 7 pages.
Today, Webb's counsel advised the Government of his intention to move to strike
the brief based on this page limit issue unless the Government agreed to file an amended reply
memorandum within the page limitation. The Government sought consent from Webb's counsel
for the instant request for an enlargement, and Webb's counsel has stated that he does not
consent to the request.

The Honorable Leonard B. Sand

The Government acknowledges that this request for enlargement should have
been made prior to the filing of its reply brief, as laid out in the Court's practice preferences, and
apologizes for not having done so. If this application is denied, the Government respectfully
requests the opportunity to file an amended reply memorandum of law within the stated page
limitation.
Respectfully submitted,
