In the United States Court of Federal Claims
No. 08-133 C (Filed: March 19, 2008) ******************************************* GLOBAL COMPUTER ENTERPRISES, INC., * * Plaintiff, * * v. * * THE UNITED STATES, * * Defendant, * * and * * QSS GROUP, INC., * * Defendant-Intervenor. * ******************************************* ORDER On March 18, 2008, plaintiff filed an Unopposed Motion to File Memorandum of Length Not to Exceed 45 Pages. In its motion, plaintiff requests permission to file a reply memorandum in excess of the page limit set forth in RCFC 5.3(b)(2), but not to exceed forty-five (45) pages, and represents that neither defendant nor defendant-intervenor opposes its motion. Plaintiff indicates that several arguments contained in defendant's and defendant-intervenor's oppositions and motions do not overlap. Plaintiff believes that the rules of the court permit it to file two separate memoranda, each no larger than thirty pages, in response to those pleadings; however, plaintiff suggests that a single, consolidated reply is more appropriate. Additionally, plaintiff indicates its intent to separately file a cross-motion for judgment on the administrative record, all separate documents required under RCFC 52.1(b), a motion to supplement the proposed administrative record, and an opposition to QSS's Motion to Admit Harm Declaration of William R. Bowen and to Strike Improper Lay Testimony from Declarations in Support of Plaintiff's Motion for Preliminary Injunction and Application for Restraining Order. The court notes that plaintiff's counsel did not sign the motion as required by RCFC 11(a) and Appendix D ¶ 19. The Clerk of the Court is directed to file plaintiff's motion by leave of the court, and the court reminds plaintiff that all future filings must be signed by or for the attorney of record in compliance with the rules of the court. Accordingly, plaintiff's motion is GRANTED. Plaintiff shall file a reply memorandum not to exceed
