ORDER GRANTING REQUEST TO
CONSIDER POINTS AND
AUTHORITIES IN EXCESS OF 25
PAGES
Good cause appearing, in light of the numerous issues raised in this case, it is ORDERED that defendant Andrew J. Ford's Memorandum of Points and Authorities in Support of Motion for Summary Judgment (Document #201), filed on July 16, 2012, may be 30 pages in length, and will be considered by the Court.
In her declaration in support of Mr. Ford's request for consideration of an overlength brief, counsel for Mr. Ford indicated that because this case was originally assigned to Judge Oliver W. Wanger, she inadvertently failed to recognize that the transferee District Judge had special requirements regarding the filing of motions for summary judgment. Doc. 210. The Court notes that Judge Wanger's filing requirements, set forth in the standing order issued in this case on August 3, 2009, Doc. 10 at p. 6 of 7, are essentially identical to the undersigned's requirements, Doc. 209. The overlength brief is nevertheless allowed because the Court believes it will aid the Court's understanding of the issues.
Additionally, the hearing on the Motions for Summary Judgment is set for August 20, 2012, at 8:30 a.m. in Department 4 of this Court.
SO ORDERED
Lawrence J. O'Neill
United States District Judge
