STIPULATION TO FILE MEMORANDUM IN EXCESS OF PAGE LIMITATION RE DEFENDANTS CENTER FOR EMPLOYMENT TRAINING, A California nonprofit corporation, SHIRLEY JOHNSON, and JENNIFER CRUICKSHANK'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND ORDER

KIMBERLY J. MUELLER, District Judge.

Whereas Relators have filed a 57-page First Amended Complaint alleging violations of federal False Claims Act, the California False Claims Act, and the California Fraud and Deceit statute;

Whereas there are three Defendants remaining in the case;

Whereas Relators seek approximately $280,000,000 in damages;

Whereas discovery has closed in the case;

Whereas the Court's Scheduling Order requires that any hearing on a motion for summary judgment must be heard by September 22, 2017;

Whereas all three Defendants intend to file a motion for summary judgment on several grounds, including materiality and scienter;

Whereas the evidence on scienter is specific to each of the three Defendants;

Whereas the Court allowed the parties to exceed the 20-page limit in the Court's Standing Order in connection with the Motion to Dismiss and to file moving and opposition briefs not to exceed 30 pages;

Whereas Defendants previously filed a motion for permission to file 30-page moving and opposition briefs in connection with their motion for summary judgment, which motion has not yet been ruled upon;

Whereas Relators initially opposed Defendants' motion to file 30-page briefs; and

Whereas Relators have reconsidered their position and now consent to Defendants' motion to file 30-page moving and opposition briefs;

Therefore, with respect to Defendants' motion for summary judgment, Defendants and Relators' respective moving and opposition briefs may be 30 pages in length, and any reply briefs may be 15 pages in length.
