Defendants. 	)
On January 11, 2019, Defendants Doug Burgum, Jack Dalrymple, Grant Levi, and Michael
Gerhardt, Jr. (hereinafter referred to as the “State Defendants”) filed: (1) a motion to dismiss; (2)
a motion for leave to file a brief in support of their motion to dismiss that exceeds the 40-page limit
set forth in D.N.D. Civ. L.R. 7.1(A); and (3) a supporting brief that is substantively 62 pages in
length. 1
The court GRANTS the State Defendants’ motion (Doc. No. 29) and authorizes their filing
of their supporting brief. Additionally, the court authorizes Plaintiffs to file 62-page response to the
State Defendants’ motion. 2
1 The State Defendants’ supporting brief incorporated a title page and an 11-page table of contents . In its
original order the court included the table of contents and title page in the page count and in so doing stated that the
supporting brief was 74 pages in length. The court now amends its order to reflect that the supporting brief was
substantively 62 pages in length.
2 Any table of contents or title page that the plaintiff may incorporate into her supporting brief will not count
toward the 62-page limit.
