Shawna Forde, Petitioner, v. David Shinn, et al., Respondents.
ORDER
HONORABLE SCOTT H. RASH, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Pending before the Court is Forde's motion to suspend Local Rule 3.5(b)'s page limit or alternatively, excuse Petitioner's noncompliance with the rule's lodging requirement and grant leave to exceed the page limit by 100 pages for good cause. (Doc. 21.) Respondents have not filed a memorandum in opposition, but have indicated, through Petitioner, that they “have agreed to reserve any objection to the page limit until Petitioner files her amended petition.” (Id. at 1.)
Contemporaneous with order, the Court grants Forde's unopposed alternative request in her motion for equitable tolling to file an amended petition.
Accordingly, because the motion to suspend Local Rule 3.5(b)'s page limit is unopposed, and for the reasons set forth in Forde's motion, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED the motion to suspend Local Rule 3.5(b)'s page limit will be granted as to the filing of Forde's petition only.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the page limit will remain in effect for any amended petition unless otherwise ordered by the Court. Forde is directed to lodge any amended petition exceeding the 200-page limit along with a motion to exceed the page limit on or before the deadline for filing the amended petition.
