October 1, 200796NOTICE of Motion by Misty Rose Martin for presentment of motion for miscellaneous relief 93 before Honorable Blanche M. Manning on 10/4/2007 at 11:00 AM. (Martin, Misty)
October 3, 200797MINUTE entry before Judge Blanche M. Manning :Defendants' motions for leave to file separate motions 93 94 are granted in part and denied in part. The court intended to require the defendants to file a consolidated motion to dismiss to the extent possible and to allow them to file separate supplemental briefs addressing any individual issues. The court regrets any confusion. The defendants seek to file five separate 35-page briefs. Assuming that they use all of these pages, they will file a total of 175 pages which may contain duplicative arguments or factual summaries. The record does not show that this extraordinary number of pages is necessary. Accordingly, the court directs the defendants to file a consolidated brief to the extent possible that contains any common arguments (between all or some of the defendants) as well as a joint summary of relevant facts. Contrary to its statements in open court, they may then file separate briefs addressing individual arguments, not to exceed 20 pages each. If any defendant believes that additional pages are necessary, it must file a motion articulating specific bases for such a request. Mailed notice (rth, )
