STIPULATED MOTION, AND ORDER GRANTING LEAVE FOR OVERLENGTH BRIEF
ROBERT S. LASNIK UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
I. STIPULATED MOTION FOR OVERLENGTH BRIEF
The motion for preliminary approval in this case will be more extensive than in a typical case. This matter has been ongoing for more than six years, including contested motions for certification as a collective action under the Fair Labor Standards Act, class certification under FRCP 23, discovery motions, dispositive motions, other motions practice, and two mediations. The parties ask the Court to grant leave for an overlength motion for preliminary approval to explain the background and complexity of the case, and the grounds for granting preliminary approval of the parties' settlement.
Pursuant to LCR 7(f), the parties respectfully request that the Court permit the filing of a preliminary approval motion not to exceed 9,933 words.
Respectfully submitted this 25th day of September 2023.
II. ORDER
IT IS SO ORDERED.
