JOINT MOTION TO EXCEED OPPOSITION, REPLY AND SUR-REPLY PAGE
LIMITS FOR BRIEFS RELATING TO GO DADDY’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY
JUDGMENT OF NONINFRINGEMENT BASED ON ITS LICENSE DEFENSE
Go-Daddy filed a Motion for Summary Judgment of Noninfringement Based on Its
License Defense (“the Go Daddy License Motion”) (Dkt. No. 790) on July 25, some weeks in
advance of the summary judgment deadline. At that time, Go-Daddy and other defendants
understood the summary-judgment page limits of Local Rule CV-7(a)(3)(A) to apply to each
party, not each side, and so understood that the pages in the Go Daddy License Motion would
not count against other defendants’ summary-judgment page limits. Upon learning, some weeks
later, that the limits might instead be understood to be “per side,” the remaining defendants filed
a motion requesting the Court not to count the fourteen pages of Go Daddy’s motion against their
page limits, or alternatively, to grant fourteen additional pages for defendants’ motions. (Dkt.
No. 878) The Court granted this motion, and added fourteen pages to defendants’ summaryjudgment page limits (Dkt. No. 909). Eolas filed an Opposition to the Go Daddy License Motion
on August 16. (Dkt. No. 859).

Defendant Go Daddy and Plaintiff Eolas now jointly ask the court to extend plaintiff’s
and defendants’ opposition, reply and sur-reply page limits so that the opposition, reply and surreply briefing on the Go Daddy License motion also is not charged against these respective
limits. Eolas’ Opposition to the Go Daddy License Motion is 14 pages, the same length as Go
Daddy’s Motion. (Dkt. No. 859). Mindful of the Court’s admonition on page limits, Eolas and
Go Daddy will keep their respective reply and sur-reply short (no more than nine pages each).
