P A N IF ' N P O E MO I NTO EXCEED 40 PAGE LIMITATION ON L I TF S U O P S D TO THE LENGTH OF ITS MEMORANDUM I O P STO T D F N A TS N P O II N O E E D N ' MOTION TO DISMISS BY 10 PAGES Plaintiffs hereby move pursuant to RCFC 5.2(b)(1) for leave to exceed the 40 page limitation o t l g o i Me oadm i O psi t D f dn s t n o nh e t ft m r u n poio o e nat Mo o t e nh s n tn e ' i Dismiss by 10 pages, thereby enlarging the permitted length from 40 to 50 pages. Rule 5.2(b)(1) limits initial opposing briefs or memoranda to 40 pages and requires leave of the court to enlarge the length of the opposing brief or memorandum. Defendant filed a Motion to Dismiss and Memorandum in Support Thereof on September 18, 2006. D f dn s 7 e nat 3-page Motion to Dismiss covers a broad range of e ' complex and interconnected legal theories that go to the heart of this case. It also makes numerous references to litigation stretching back more than 25 years. Plaintiffs thus

require this enlargement of the length of their opposing memorandum from 40 to 50 pages to enable them to present a thorough and appropriate response t D f dn s o e nat e ' Motion to Dismiss.
