DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES, et al.,

16

Defendants.

This matter comes before the Court on the parties’ Stipulation for Order Setting

19

Page Limits for Cross-Motions for Summary Judgment and Related Matters, Dkt. # 434.

20

The Court recognizes the complicated nature of the case and agrees that an extension of

21

page limits for briefing the respective motions for summary judgment is warranted. The

22

parties’ request to be allocated 120 pages for briefing per side, however, is excessive.

23

The Court ORDERS as follows:

24

1. Each side shall be allocated a maximum of 90 pages for briefing their

25

respective motions for summary judgment. Plaintiffs may file an opening

26

memorandum in support of their motion for summary judgment that does not

27

exceed 50 pages. Plaintiffs may allocate the remaining unused portion of the

28

ORDER – 1

Case 2:17-cv-00094-RAJ Document 435 Filed 10/29/20 Page 2 of 2

1

90 total pages to their reply/cross-opposition memoranda responding to

2

Defendants’ cross-motion for summary judgment. Defendants would similarly

3

be allotted a maximum of 90 pages, with up to 70 pages allocated to their

4

combined opposition/cross-motion memoranda, and the remaining unused

5

portion of the 90 pages for their cross-reply memorandum.

6

2. The deadlines for dispositive motions and summary judgment briefing set out

7

in Dkt. # 413, page 3, are not suspended, but the Court may consider

8

reasonable adjustments based on a joint proposal submitted by the parties no

9

later than November 6, 2020.
