WHEREAS, Defendants plan to file a motion to dismiss with their opposition to Plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction, and the Court has entered a stipulated order setting a briefing schedule that will allow the parties' respective motions to be briefed together, ECF No. 53.
WHEREAS, Local Civil Rule 7(e)(2) provides that motions to dismiss, motions for a preliminary injunction, and briefs in opposition to those two motions shall not exceed twenty-four (24) pages, and reply briefs shall not exceed twelve (12) pages.
WHEREAS, Defendants need more than twenty-four (24) pages for their combined motion to dismiss and opposition to Plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction, but less than the combined forty-eight (48) pages they would otherwise be allotted if filing these documents separately, and Plaintiffs need more than (24) pages for their combined opposition to Defendants' motion to dismiss and reply in support of their motion for a preliminary injunction, but less than the combined thirty-six (36) pages they would otherwise be allotted if filing these documents separately.

1. Defendants' combined motion to dismiss and opposition to Plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction shall not exceed forty-five (45) pages; and
2. Plaintiffs' combined opposition to Defendants' motion to dismiss and reply in support of their motion for a preliminary injunction shall not exceed thirty-five (35) pages.
