STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

JON S. TIGAR, District Judge.

Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 7-11 and 7-12, the parties respectfully request that the Court permit Defendants Depomed, Inc., Arthur Joseph Higgins, James A. Schoeneck, and August J. Moretti (collectively, "Defendants") and Plaintiff Inchen Huang to exceed—by 5 pages—the page limitations that would otherwise apply, under Civil Local Rules 7-2 and 7-3, to the following two briefs: (i) Defendants' Motion to Dismiss the First Amended Complaint, due on April 9, 2018; and (ii) Plaintiffs' Opposition thereto, due on June 8, 2018. If this request is granted, the page limit for Defendants' Motion to Dismiss will be 30 pages, and the page limit for Plaintiff's Opposition will be 30 pages.

Defendants sought consent from Plaintiffs for an extended brief because the 98-page Amended Complaint contains claims against four defendants and challenges numerous statements over a 25-month Class Period, and Defendants believe the short extension of the page limit enables a brief that will facilitate the Court's consideration of the motion. Plaintiffs have agreed to Defendants' request, provided that Plaintiffs can file an extended opposition brief, if necessary, to address the arguments in Defendants' extended brief in support of its Motion to Dismiss.

Neither party has made any prior request to exceed page limitations for any briefing in this case.

Accordingly, the parties hereby respectfully request that the Court, by signing below, modify the applicable page limitations, as set forth below:

PURSUANT TO THE STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED.
