September 25, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 7 PAPERLESS ORDER denying the Defendants' Unopposed Motion to File Consolidated Motion to Dismiss. #6 . Plaintiff has not complied with the Southern District of Florida's CM/ECF Administrative Procedures Rule 3I(1) which states, in part: "If a document to be filed requires a motion requesting leave of Court (e.g., an amended complaint, a document to be filed out of time, or a document exceeding the page limitation), the proposed document shall be submitted as a PDF attachment to the motion." This allows a court to review the proposed filing to evaluate whether excess pages are necessary. Here, the Defendants asserted that excess pages are appropriate "because each Defendant would have otherwise been permitted to file its own 20-page motion" but provided no analysis regarding why a consolidated brief would need to exceed 20 pages. It is the Court's experience that an enlarged brief does not assist the Court because it is belabored with repetitive arguments. The Defendants failed to establish some special need for excess pages, and the motion is denied. Signed by Judge Robert N. Scola, Jr. (dka)
