I.

No. C17-0601RSL
STIPULATED MOTION, AND
ORDER GRANTING LEAVE FOR
OVERLENGTH BRIEF

STIPULATED MOTION FOR OVERLENGTH BRIEF

The motion for preliminary approval in this case will be more extensive than in a typical
case. This matter has been ongoing for more than six years, including contested motions for
certification as a collective action under the Fair Labor Standards Act, class certification under
FRCP 23, discovery motions, dispositive motions, other motions practice, and two mediations.
The parties ask the Court to grant leave for an overlength motion for preliminary approval to
explain the background and complexity of the case, and the grounds for granting preliminary
approval of the parties’ settlement.
Pursuant to LCR 7(f), the parties respectfully request that the Court permit the filing of a
preliminary approval motion not to exceed 9,933 words.
