ORDER GRANTING LEAVE TO
FILE 15-PAGE BRIEF IN SUPPORT
OF MOTION FOR SANCTIONS

This case comes before the Court on motion (D.E. 145) filed by Plaintiff Progress Solar
Solutions, LLC ("Plaintiff'), for leave to file a proposed brief of more than ten pages in length in
support of its motion for sanctions (D .E. 144) against defendant Mikel Bills or, in the event that
leave is not granted, for an extension of time to file a shorter, supporting memoranda.
The Court finds that good cause has been shown, and exercises its discretion pursuant to
Local Civil Rule 1.1, E.D.N.C, to allow Plaintiffs motion for leave to file that brief that is attached
to Plaintiff's underlying motion. The Court need not decide Plaintiff's alternative motion for an
extension of time as that request is now moot. Plaintiff's proposed brief (D.E. 144-1) shall be
considered part of the record on its motion for sanctions.
