Defendant/Counterclaimant.

Taser requests that this Court strike pages 12 through 27 of Defendant's Reply Memorandum in Opposition to Motion to Dismiss Counterclaims ("Reply") because it grossly exceeds the page limits set forth in Local Rule of Civil Procedure 7.2(e). Local Rule 7.2(e) requires that "unless otherwise permitted by the Court . . . a reply including its supporting memorandum shall not exceed eleven (11) pages." Defendant never

sought leave from this Court to exceed the page limit. Instead, Defendant takes 27 pages to argue issues on which the Court already heard oral arguments. Pages 12-27 add nothing to the Court's consideration of the merits and are merely a rehash of arguments the Court has heard before. To allow Defendant to so grossly exceed the reply page limit, when Taser worked diligently to submit its response motion in accordance with the page limits of Local Rule

Case 2:00-cv-00945-ROS 301790v2

7.2(e), would be prejudicial to Taser. Taser therefore requests that this Court strike pages 12 through 27 of Defendant's Reply in their entirety. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED this 6th day of December 2005. HYMSON & GOLDSTEIN, P.C.
