plaintiff, Hypercom Corporation ("Hypercom"), filed its Motion For Leave To File Second Amended Complaint on December 15, 2005. The Second Amended Complaint proposes to add new claims of malicious prosecution and aiding and abetting against Omron. Hypercom also responded to the Motion For Summary Judgment on December 23, 2005. See Hypercom' Opposition To Omron' Motion For Summary Judgment s s ("Opposition"). With the Opposition Hypercom served a 53-page Statement Of Facts In Opposition To Omron' Motion For Summary Judgment ("Statement Of Facts"), a Rule s 56(f) Affidavit, and more than 1500 pages of exhibits. Hypercom' Statement Of Facts is replete with additional arguments and s unsupported legal conclusions not made in its Response. Furthermore, Hypercom' Rule s 56(f) Affidavit recycles the argument that Hypercom requires additional discovery from Omron' outside counsel, Herbert Kerner. Hypercom also attempts to add new claims to s this action by moving for leave to file a Second Amended Complaint. With two additional pages, Omron adequately can respond to the claims and arguments made in Hypercom' Statement Of Facts, the Rule 56(f) Affidavit, and proposed Second Amended s Complaint, as well as the 1500 pages of exhibits. Furthermore, Hypercom suffers no prejudice if Omron receives two more pages for its Reply, especially given the manner in which Hypercom responded to the Motion For Summary Judgment. Accordingly, Omron respectfully requests the Court to approve this Motion and allow Omron to exceed by two pages the page limit for its Reply memorandum. Respectfully submitted on January 6, 2006.
