CASE NO. 2-08-CV-01333-JAM-EFB EX PARTE APPLICATION BY DEFENDANTS RELYNET, INC. AND MICHAEL DICARLO TO EXCEED 25PAGE LIMIT FOR MOTIONS; ORDER THEREON Trial Date: Time: Courtroom: Hearing Date: Time: Courtroom: January 25, 2010 9:00 a.m. 6 April 7, 2010 9:30 a.m. 6 DEFENDANTS MICHAEL DICARLO AND RELYNET, INC. hereby request permission to file a combined memorandum of points and authorities in support of their motions for judgment as a matter of law under Rule 50 and for new trial under Rule 59. 1 PDF created with pdfFactory trial version www.pdffactory.com EX PARTE APPLICATION TO EXCEED PAGE LIMIT; ORDER 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 The memorandum of points and authorities is a little less than 26 pages, while the pagelimit contained in the Court's August 20, 2008 scheduling order is 25 pages. The reasons for this request are as follows: 1. For the sake of convenience to the Court the defendants have combined their Rule 50 and Rule 59 motions into a single motion and single memorandum of points and authorities. The defendants have attempted to comply with that portion of the Court's August 20, 2008 scheduling order which forbids parties from avoiding the filing of an excessively long brief by filing multiple motion papers, but the result is that the brief is a page too long. 2. The memorandum of points and authorities refers to the entire trial record, including exhibits and witness testimony, and separately recites the relevant evidence at trial, for the sake of clarity and including as many of the relevant facts in a single pleading as possible. 3. The memorandum of points and authorities concerns multiple significant legal issues and questions, and there is a significant body of precedent and authority, especially on the questions of estoppel and co-ownership, to discuss. 4. 5. The memorandum exceeds the page limit by only one page. Exceeding the page limit in this instance by one page will not cause excessive hardship or vexation to any party or to the court and is warranted by the significance and complexity of the issues.
