`Case: 19-16636, 09/29/2020, ID: 11840311, DktEntry: 119, Page 3 of 6
`
`
`
`Appellant/Cross-Appellee Monsanto Company (“Monsanto”) consents to the
`
`United States’ motion to participate in oral argument and that the Court reallocate
`
`5 minutes of Monsanto’s oral argument time—currently set at 20 minutes—to
`
`counsel for the United States.
`
`In light of the United States’ wish to participate in oral argument, Monsanto
`
`suggests that the Court also grant each of the parties (Monsanto and Hardeman) 5
`
`additional minutes of oral argument time. This case involves several complex
`
`issues and a voluminous trial record, which led both parties to file oversized briefs.
`
`See Dkts. 46, 85. Monsanto respectfully submits that this case will benefit from
`
`additional oral argument time to address all questions the Court may have
`
`concerning those issues.
