CASE NO.: 3:20-CV-05787-SI
MOTION RE PAGE LIMITATIONS
Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-11, Defendants Facebook, Inc., Mark Zuckerberg, and the
Poynter Institute for Media Studies, Inc. (collectively “Defendants”) request that the Court enter the
attached stipulation, pursuant to which (1) all Defendants consent to Children’s Health Defense’s
(“CHD”) filing of a Second Amended Complaint (“SAC”), (2) Defendants Facebook and Mark
Zuckerberg will be permitted three additional pages for their combined motion to dismiss; (3)
Defendant Poynter will be permitted three additional pages for its own motion to dismiss; and (4)
CHD will be permitted three additional pages to respond to each of the anticipated motions to
dismiss. CHD does not oppose this motion.
On December 4, 2020, CHD filed a motion for leave to file an amended complaint, which
attached CHD’s SAC. Dkt. 65. Defendants’ response to this motion would be due December 18,
2020, just three days prior to the date Defendants’ motions to dismiss the First Amended Complaint
(“FAC”) are due. See Dkt. 63. Rather than burden the Court with simultaneous briefing on CHD’s
motion for leave to file the SAC and Defendants’ anticipated motions to dismiss the FAC,
Defendants will not oppose CHD’s motion for leave but ask for an additional three pages for their
respective motions to dismiss to address the new allegations. CHD does not oppose this request for
three additional pages, conditioned on Defendants’ agreement that CHD shall have an additional
three pages to oppose each of their motions to dismiss.
Although Defendants acknowledge that an increase in pages impacts the Court in reviewing
the motion, Defendants respectfully submit that good cause exists for the modest page limit
extensions requested herein. The additional pages will permit all parties to adequately address the
new allegations set forth in Plaintiff’s proposed Second Amended Complaint (“SAC”)—which spans
391 paragraphs and 150 pages—and to present arguments and authorities that will best aid the Court
in resolving the issues raised therein. In addition, by addressing the proposed amendments now, the
parties eliminate the need for the Court to separately resolve the motion for leave to amend.
Moreover, under the parties’ stipulation, the existing case schedule remains the same—motions to
dismiss will be filed December 21, 2020; CHD’s oppositions will be filed on February 5, 2021;
Defendants’ replies will be filed March 5, 2021; and argument on the motion to dismiss and the
initial case management conference can proceed as scheduled on March 19, 2021. See Dkt. 63.
