 1                                                 ORDER
 2           On November 19, 2024, Plaintiffs filed an Ex Parte Motion to Extend Page Limits
 3     for Plaintiffs’ Reply in Support of Motion for Class Certification that is due on
 4     November 21, 2024. (Dkt. No. 369.) Defendant filed an opposition the same day. (Dkt.
 5     No. 370.) Plaintiffs’ request is late and last minute. Plaintiffs filed their motion for
 6     class certification on August 29, 2024, (Dkt. No. 324), and Defendant filed its
 7     opposition on October 24, 2024, (Dkt. No. 349). Plaintiffs were fully aware of the
 8     issues raised in the opposition for almost a month and fail to explain the late filing.
 9     However, the Court recognizes this is an MDL purported class action where Plaintiffs
10     are seeking to certify five classes involving seven causes of action and their request to
11     file excess pages may be warranted. Accordingly, the Court GRANTS in part Plaintiffs’
12     ex parte motion and Plaintiffs’ Reply Brief in Support of Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class
13     Certification shall not exceed twenty-five (25) pages. See Traylor Bros. v. San Diego
14     Unified Port Dist., No. 08-CV-1019-L WVG, 2012 WL 1019966, at *2 (S.D. Cal. Mar.
15     26, 2012) (citing United States v. W.R. Grace, 526 F.3d 499, 509 (9th Cir. 2008)) (en
16     banc) (“whether to grant leave to exceed the page limits set forth in the Local Civil
17     Rules appears to be at the full discretion of the Court”).
18           IT IS SO ORDERED.
