`ANTITRUST LITIGATION
`
`
`
`
`Hon. Sean F. Cox
`
`Mag. Judge R. Steven Whalen
`
`
`THIS DOCUMENT RELATES TO:
`
`
`
`ALL END-PAYOR ACTIONS
`
`
`
`
`
`
`FINANCIAL RECOVERY SERVICES, LLC’S
`EX PARTE MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF PAGES
`
`Financial Recovery Services, LLC (“FRS”), through its undersigned
`
`counsel, brings this ex parte motion pursuant to L.R. 7.1(d)(3) to request leave to
`
`file a reply brief of no more than 9 pages, excluding signatures, in support of its
`
`Motion to Compel Acceptance and Processing of Vehicle Data (“Motion”).
`
`In support of this motion, FRS states that this extension of the Local Rules’
`
`page limit is necessary for FRS to respond fully to the issues raised in the
`
`Response by counsel for End-Payor Plaintiffs (“Class Counsel”) to FRS’s Motion.
`
`Specifically, additional pages are necessary to: (i) address and refute misleading
`
`factual representations raised by Class Counsel; (ii) set forth an accurate factual
`
`history of the claims submission process, which has been mischaracterized by
`
`Class Counsel; and (iii) accurately summarize this Court’s prior orders, and the
`
`
`
`Case 2:12-md-02311-SFC-RSW ECF No. 2123, PageID.38531 Filed 03/09/21 Page 2 of 4
`
`pertinent procedural and administrative posture of this action, to ensure that this
`
`Court has a full and fair picture of this case’s landscape.
`
`FRS believes that addressing these matters is necessary to facilitate a just
`
`decision on the Motion. As Class Counsel were permitted to file a Response to the
`
`Motion exceeding the page limits set forth in the Local Rules by this Court’s order
`
`dated March 4, 2021 [ECF 2121, PageID.38524], FRS requests the same
`
`accommodation be extended to it in replying to that Response.
`
`WHEREFORE, FRS respectfully requests that this Court grant it leave, on
`
`an ex parte basis, to file its Reply in Support of its Motion to Compel Acceptance
`
`and Processing of Vehicle Data of no more than 9 pages, excluding signatures.
`
`Dated: March 9, 2021
`
`
`Respectfully submitted,
`
