KAELI GARNER, et al., Plaintiffs, v. AMAZON.COM, INC., a Delaware Corporation, and AMAZON.COM SERVICES LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, Defendants.
ORDER GRANTING IN PART AMAZON'S MOTION PURSUANT TO LOCAL RULE 7(F) FOR LEAVE TO FILE AN OVER-LENGTH MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
ROBERT S. LASNIK UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
The Court has considered Defendants Amazon.com, Inc. and Amazon.com Services LLC's motion pursuant to Local Rule 7(f) for leave to file an over-length motion for summary judgment (Dkt. # 270) and finds that some expansion of the default word limits is warranted. Accordingly, Amazon's motion is GRANTED in part, and it is HEREBY ORDERED that:
(1) Amazon's brief in support of its motion for summary judgment shall not exceed 16,800 words;
(2) Plaintiffs' brief in support of their opposition to Amazon's motion for summary judgment shall not exceed 16,800 words; and
(3) Amazon's reply brief in support of its motion for summary judgment shall not exceed 8,400 words.
Amazon's argument that it could file ten separate motions for summary judgment, each dealing with the claims of a single plaintiff, for a total of 84,000 words, is mistaken. The local rules of this district preclude the contemporaneous filing of multiple dispositive motions aimed at discrete issues or claims. LCR 7(e).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
