Subject: Plaintiff's Response in Opposition to Defendant's Motion to Extend Length of Memoranda — Chicago, Illinois Sample Letter [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Opposing Counsel's Name] [Opposing Counsel's Firm] [Address] [City, State, ZIP] Re: Case No. [Case Number] Plaintiff: [Plaintiff's Name] Defendant: [Defendant's Name] Court: [Court Name] Dear [Opposing Counsel's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing in response to your recent motion, dated [Motion Date], requesting an extension of the length of memoranda in our case. While I appreciate your need for additional time, I am compelled to respectfully oppose your motion based on the following grounds: 1. Timeliness: Your motion for an extension comes less than [number of days] before the deadline for filing memoranda, as stipulated by the court scheduling order. This delay demonstrates a lack of diligence on your part in adequately preparing your arguments within the allotted timeframe. 2. Prejudice to the Plaintiff: Granted your motion is granted, it would unduly prejudice the plaintiff's rights and interests by prolonging the litigation process, potentially causing unnecessary delay and additional expenses. Furthermore, the plaintiff respectfully asserts that their right to a speedy trial would be compromised if your request is approved. 3. Adherence to Court Guidelines: The court's scheduling order, which was drafted collaboratively by both parties, explicitly outlines the deadlines and expectations regarding memoranda lengths. Adhering to these guidelines ensures fairness and efficiency in the litigation process. Granting your motion would disrupt the orderly progression of the case and set a precedent for noncompliance with stipulated court orders. 4. Lack of Meritorious Justification: Your motion fails to provide any substantial and meritorious justification for the requested extension. It is incumbent upon the moving party to present sound reasoning and demonstrate adequate cause for an extension beyond the set limit. Without such a showing, the motion lacks a valid basis. In light of the aforementioned reasons, the plaintiff respectfully requests that the court deny your motion to extend the length of memoranda. The plaintiff trusts that the court will take these arguments into careful consideration while making its ruling. Should the court be inclined to grant your motion despite our opposition, the plaintiff respectfully requests the imposition of suitable conditions to minimize prejudice to their interests, such as an accelerated briefing schedule or other appropriate compensatory measures. Please be advised that this correspondence is without prejudice to any other remedies or objections that the plaintiff may raise at a later date. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We trust that we can resolve this dispute within the confines of fairness and justice. Should you wish to discuss this matter further, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at your earliest convenience. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Title/Position] [Your Law Firm's Name] [Email Address] [Phone Number]
