JOINT MOTION TO EXTEND PAGE LIMITS & ORDER
John H. Chun, United States District Judge
The Parties jointly file this motion pursuant to Local Civil Rule 7(f). As the Parties have explained in several status reports to the Court, they have been negotiating a settlement agreement to resolve Plaintiffs' claims in this matter. The Parties have now finalized that agreement. As detailed in Plaintiffs' complaint, this case involves a proposed nationwide class action with several subclasses, and thus the Parties' agreement to address all claims in this matter is detailed and complex. The forthcoming motion for preliminary approval of the class action settlement must address several factors. Given that this is a nationwide class action, and in order to apprise the Court fully of the grounds for forthcoming motions, the Parties request that the Court extend the page limit for their Joint Motion for Preliminary Approval of Class Action Settlement and Request for Fairness Hearing, to 4800 words.
