No. CV04-0424 PHX ROS Plaintiffs Opposition to Defendants Motion to Exceed Page Limit on Defendants Supplemental Brief in Opposition to Plaintiffs Motion for Class Certification

Plaintiffs oppose Defendants motion to exceed the page limitation on Defendants Supplemental Brief in Opposition to Plaintiffs Motion for Class Certification. Defendants were granted leave to file a 28 page opposition to Plaintiffs motion for class certification. (See Doc. 146.) On May 17, 2006, Defendants filed a response to Plaintiffs brief in support of Plaintiffs proposed interim Rule 16 Scheduling Order in which Defendants devoted 6 pages to the statute of limitations argument that they continue to claim defeats class certification. (Doc. 161, pp. 5-11.) Defendants now move for leave to file a 31 page supplemental brief, which, not only exceeds the page limitation by 14 pages, but also violates Local Rule 7.1(b) regarding font size. It contains 23 footnotes in 11 point proportional font

size which, if filed in conformity with the Local Rule, would further increase the length of Defendants brief beyond the 31 pages Defendants have requested. Accordingly, Plaintiffs respectfully oppose Defendants motion. Respectfully submitted this 5th day of July, 2006
