THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE
DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT
, CLARENCE R. COLLINS, JR., ET AL, : 3:03 CV 00945 (CFD)
for themselves and on behalf of a class similarly :
situated property owners, :
Plaintiffs,
v.
OLIN CORPORATION and the TOWN
OF HAMDEN, :
: NOVEMBER 24, 2003
Defendants. :
MOTION FOR PERMISSION TO FILE REPLY BRIEF
IN EXCESS OF TEN PAGES
Pursuant to D. Conn. L. Civ. R. 7, the defendant, Olin Corporation ("Olin"), hereby seeks
the Court’s permission to tile its Reply Brief with respect to Olin’s multiple Motions to Dismiss
in this matter, which exceeds ten pages. The Reply brief contains twenty two pages of text.
Olin originally filed six separate Motions to Dismiss addressing the various counts of the
plaintiffs’ Amended Complaint. The Amended Complaint contains 121 numbered paragraphs of
allegations, some of which contain multiple subparts, and is brought in seventeen separate
counts, nine of which are directed to Olin. Olin tiled separate Motions to Dismiss in order to
address separate legal issues and for ease of briefing, argument and decision. The Court
previously granted Olin’s motion to exceed the forty page limit for its original Motions to
Dismiss. Because of the complex factual and legal issues raised by the Amended Complaint,
Olin requires additional pages in order to address each legal issue completely.

Plaintiffs’ counsel has been contacted and has no objection to the extra twelve pages.
Wherefore, Olin respectfully requests that this Motion for Permission to File its Reply
Brief in Excess of Ten Pages be granted.
