`
`3. Deadlines and Page Limits
`
`In accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the parties shall file all post-trial
`
`motions, and opening briefs in support, within 28 days of the Court’s entry of judgment (December
`
`6, 2023). Briefing shall proceed according to the Court’s procedures, namely that both sides are
`
`limited to a maximum of 20 pages of opening briefs, 20 pages of answering briefs, and 10 pages
`
`of reply briefs relating to any post-trial motions filed by that side, no matter how many such
`
`motions are filed. Due to an intervening trial for Amazon’s counsel at the ITC scheduled during
`
`the anticipated post-trial motions briefing period, Amazon requests the deadline for answering and
`
`reply briefs be as follows, subject to the Court’s approval. VB Assets has no objection to this
`
`schedule.
`
`• Answering briefs shall be filed within 28 days of the filing of opening briefs (January
`3, 2024).
`
`• Reply briefs shall be filed within 14 days of the filing of answering briefs (January
`17, 2024).
