Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 412 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/11/2017 Page 1 of 4 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA Case No. 9:08.80736-Civ-Marra/Johnson JANE DOE #1 and JANE DOE #2 v. UNITED STATES UNOPPOSED MOTION OF JANE DOE 1 AND 2 TO EXCEED PAGE LIMITS IN THEIR RESPONSE TO THE GOVERNMENT'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT COME NOW Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2 (hereinafter "the victims"), by and through undersigned counsel, to file this unopposed motion for leave to file a 64-page response to the Government's motion for summary judgment. As the Court is aware, this is a complex, long-running case, involving important and precedent setting issues concerning the Crime Victims' Rights Act. Because of the complexity of the case, the Court granted the victims leave to file a single, sixty-page motion for summary judgment, which included 157 separate assertions of material fact. DE 361 at 8-47. In response, the Government has filed three separate documents: First, the Government has filed a twenty- page Response to Petitioners' Statement of Undisputed Material Facts in Support of Petitioners' Motion for Partial Summary Judgment, DE 407; second, the Government has filed its own 8- page Statement of Undisputed Material Facts in Support of Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment, DE 402; and third, the Government filed a 30-page Response and Opposition to Petitioners' Motion for Partial Summary Judgment and Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment, 1 EFTA00799857 Case 9:08-cv-80736-KAM Document 412 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/11/2017 Page 2 of 4 DE 401-2. These three documents total 58 pages and raise ten separately-enumerated and argued reasons why the Court should, in the Government's view, grant summary judgment on all of the victims' claims. S.D.Fla. L.R. 7.1(c)(2) provides that an opposing memorandum of law shall not exceed twenty (20) pages, absent prior permission of the Court. The victims accordingly seek permission from the Court to file an xx-page response. Victims' counsel have worked diligently to keep their response as short as possible. But each of the Government's arguments presents complicated issues requiring a careful response. For example, Part H requires the victims to collect the relevant psychological literature on the response of sex abuse victims to their abuse. Part III requires discussion of a new Act of Congress amending the CVRA in 2015, which the Government argues is relevant to this case. The vast majority of the Government's arguments were not even discussed in the victims' opening pleading, which contained only a 13-page argument section. Victims' counsel have conferred with respondent's counsel, and they graciously do not oppose the motion. WHEREFORE, the victims respectfully request leave of the Court to file a 64-page response to the Government's motion for summary judgment. A proposed order is attached.
