 1                                  REPLY TO RESPONSE
 2          The State respectfully disagrees with the contentions advanced by the Secretary in
 3   her response opposing leave for an additional two pages (Doc. 33). The State only
 4   opposed inclusion of page limits in the joint motion to set a briefing schedule (Doc. 14).
 5   As to pages generally, the State represented that it was very familiar with the need to
 6   defend statutes fully against constitutional challenge, as it often does so itself.     It
 7   therefore explained that although it had abided by the 17-page limit in its motion, it
 8   would not oppose an expansion of the page limits for the Secretary’s response as long as
 9   it received a commensurate increase in pages for its Reply. That was apparently
10   misunderstood as opposition to any page increase of any sort.
11          In any event, the Secretary recognizes (at 1) the federal government “would
12   ordinarily consent to a page extension” in these circumstances. The Secretary’s default
13   recognition that additional pages would typically be warranted here is further reason to
14   grant the State’s request.
15          Finally, the State also shares the Secretary’s goal to have mutually agreeable
16   resolution of such administrative matters going forward.
17                                       CONCLUSION
18          For the foregoing reasons, the State’s request for an expansion of the applicable
19   page limit from 11 to 13 pages should be granted.
