`
`
`Case 2:12-md-02311-SFC-RSW ECF No. 2231, PageID.40127 Filed 09/16/22 Page 3 of 5
`
`As articulated in its Motion to Enforce End-Payor Settlements, ECF No. 2192,
`
`Enterprise Fleet Management (“EFM”) remains steadfast in its position that it is
`
`entitled to full payment on its valid, timely claims to the end-payor settlements.
`
`Nevertheless, and particularly following discussions at the September 15, 2022, hearing
`
`regarding paths forward, EFM respectfully proposes that the Court, pursuant its
`
`discretion under Fed. R. Civ. P 53(a)(1)(C), appoint and refer the parties’ dispute to a
`
`Special Master. EFM believes that such a referral would aid in the resolution of the
`
`current dispute between the parties and would agree to be responsible equally for any
`
`associated costs.
`
`Should the Court agree to appoint a Special Master, EFM would be willing to
`
`prepare a proposed referral order at the Court’s request, provide a list of potential
`
`independent Special Master candidates, and otherwise work in good faith with End
`
`Payor Plaintiffs to facilitate the appointment process.1
`
`In the alternative of appointment and referral to a Special Master, EFM
`
`respectfully proposes an in-chambers call to discuss appropriate ADR options,
`
`particularly given that the parties have heretofore not undertaken any formal ADR
`
`efforts.
`
`EFM remains committed to resolving this dispute expediently to allow the
`
`processing of settlement claims to move forward.
`
`
`1 Prior to filing this Sur-Reply, EFM contacted EPPs to register its intent to propose referral of the parties’ dispute
`to a Special Master; EPPs declined to join the request.
