Berkadia Real Estate Advisors LLC, Plaintiff, v. Arthur R Wadlund, et al., Defendants.
ORDER
HONORABLE CINDY K. JORGENSON, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Defendants/Counterclaimants seek leave of the Court to file a 34-page joint dispositive motion exceeding the 17-pages allowed by Rule 7.2(e)(1). They seek the same number of pages as if each were filing a separate motion. The Plaintiff/Counterdefendant objects.
The Court agrees that Defendants/Counterclaimants should file a consolidated dispositive motion because the case overlaps between the two. The Court will approve an over-page motion to the extent it is necessary to fully address the issues. The Defendants/Counterclaimants may re-urge the request to exceed the page limit when they file the dispositive motion. In this way the Court will be able to assess the need for extra pages.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that the Motion to Consolidate Motions for Summary Judgment and Equal the Page Limitation for the Two Motions (Doc. 203) is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Defendants/Counterclaimants shall file a consolidated dispositive motion.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the request to file a dispositive motion exceeding the 14-page limit is DENIED without prejudice to being reurged simultaneously with the filing of the dispositive motion.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if any Response or Reply to the consolidated dispositive motion needs extra pages, any request to exceed the page limit shall be filed simultaneous with the over-length brief.
