Sample Letter for Plaintiff's Response in Opposition to Defendant's Motion to Extend Length of Memoranda [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Position] [Defendant's Law Firm] [Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Re: Case Title and Number Dear [Recipient's Name], I am writing in response to the Defendant's Motion to Extend the Length of Memoranda, filed on [Date] in the aforementioned case. As the Plaintiff, I hereby present my opposition to this motion, based on the following grounds. 1. Untimeliness: The Defendant's request to extend the length of memoranda comes at a point when the case is already progressing through the court system. By filing this motion at this stage, the Defendant is causing unwarranted delay and hindering the progress of the litigation. This untimely request is prejudicial to the Plaintiff's interests and the due process of the case. 2. Lack of substantial justification: The Defendant fails to provide substantial justification for the extension of memoranda in their motion. They have not demonstrated any compelling reasons that warrant granting this request. Merely stating a desire to provide more detailed arguments or lengthier analysis is insufficient to meet the requirement of substantial justification. 3. Burden on the Plaintiff: Granting the Defendant's motion would unduly burden the Plaintiff, in terms of time, resources, and preparation required to respond to an extended memorandum. This would result in a significant hardship on the Plaintiff's ability to present their case in a fair and effective manner. The prejudice caused by such an extension cannot be ignored. In light of the above, the Plaintiff respectfully urges the court to deny the Defendant's Motion to Extend the Length of Memoranda. Granting this request would unnecessarily prolong the litigation while causing substantial prejudice to the Plaintiff. Should the court find it necessary to grant the Defendant's motion, the Plaintiff respectfully requests that a reasonable limit be set to prevent an undue burden on the Plaintiff or the court's resources. This limit should take into account the need for efficiency, fairness, and prompt resolution of the case. Thank you for considering this response in opposition to the Defendant's Motion to Extend the Length of Memoranda. The Plaintiff is committed to proceeding with the case in a timely and efficient manner while ensuring the preservation of their rights and interests. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information or have any questions regarding this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name]
