| 2020-02-21 | 21 | MOTION for Leave to File Excess Pages : Under 16 the briefing schedule in this FOIA action, the Government's second brief is due this coming Monday, February 24. As this brief is both a reply in support of 17 the Government's motion for summary judgment and an opposition to 19 Plaintiff's cross-motion for summary judgment, it is not clear whether the Court's ten page limit for replies or 25 page limit for opposition briefs applies. Regardless, having substantially drafted the brief, it appears that the Government will need approximately 20 pages to address all of the issues raised in Plaintiff's brief and its attachments. If the Court's page limit for replies rather than oppositions applies to this brief, then the Government respectfully moves for leave to submit excess pages and asks that its limit be 20 rather than 10 pages.
