JOINT STIPULATION EXTENDING PAGE LIMITATION FOR DEFENDANT'S OPPOSITION TO PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR CLASS CERTIFICATION AND PLAINTIFF'S REPLY BRIEF AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

JENNIFER L. THURSTON, Magistrate Judge.

Subject to the approval of this Court, Plaintiff EMMANUEL SALGADO and Defendant T-MOBILE USA, INC., through their undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate pursuant to Local Rule 143 as follows:

1. Parties have agreed to a stipulation that Plaintiff and Defendant shall have a short ten page extension on Defendant's Opposition to Plaintiff's Motion for Class Certification, and Plaintiff's Reply Brief in Support of his Motion for Class Certification. Accordingly, Defendant may be permitted to file an Opposition to Plaintiff's Motion for Class Certification in excess of the existing page limit, as provided by the Court's August 28, 2017 Scheduling Order (Dkt. No. 23), up to 40 pages in length, exclusive of the caption page, table of contents, table of authorities and supporting documents. Plaintiff likewise may be permitted to file a Reply Brief in Support of his Motion for Class Certification in excess of the existing page limit, as provided by the Court's August 28, 2017 Scheduling Order (Dkt. No. 23), up to 25 pages in length, exclusive of the caption page, table of contents, table of authorizes and supporting documents.

2. Good cause exists for granting this stipulation. While the parties appreciate the importance of brevity, the parties will be contesting and analyzing the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 23(a) factors of commonality, typicality, adequacy, all of the Rule 23(b) factors (including predominance and superiority), Plaintiff's proposed trial management plan, and numerous factual and credibility issues of the case. Thus, the additional ten pages are necessary to allow the parties to respond fully and adequately address all of these issues and arguments.

3. The parties have agreed to a mutual ten page extension of the Memorandum of Points and Authorities in Opposition to Plaintiff's Motion for Class Certification, and the Memorandum of Points and Authorities In Support of Plaintiff's Reply Brief in Support of Plaintiff's Motion for Class Certification.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

[PROPOSED] ORDER

The Court will grant the stipulation to allow the parties to exceed the page limitations for the opposition to the motion for class certification (up to 40 pages) and the reply (up to 25 pages). However, counsel SHALL make best efforts to edit the briefs, so they are concise, with no repetition or needless block quotes. They are reminded that often, more is not better; it is just more.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
