BEFORE THE COURT is Plaintiff’s Motion for Reconsideration, ECF No.
40. The Court has reviewed the motion, the record, and is fully informed.
Plaintiff objects to the Court’s ruling allowing Defendants an additional

19

opportunity to respond to Plaintiff’s overlength Reply Brief, arguing that no new

20

issues were raised in the Reply and that Defendants have failed to adhere to the

21

word-count limits imposed by the Local Rules. See ECF No. 40. The Court granted
ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION ~ 1

1

Defendants an additional response in conjunction with its ruling that allowed

2

Plaintiff to file its overlength Reply Brief, which, the Court notes, is longer than the

3

initial Memorandum in support of the Motion for a Preliminary Injunction (not

4

including the supporting affidavits). See ECF No. 12. The Court imposed

5

reasonable limits on Defendants’ ability to respond and Plaintiff still has the final

6

word. Therefore, the Court finds no good cause to reconsider its prior order.

7

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

8

Plaintiff’s Motion for Reconsideration, ECF No. 40, is DENIED.
