Case 2:07-cv-02513-GMS Document 1867 Filed 11/04/16 Page 3 of 5
1 Plaintiffs and the United States hereby respond to Defendants motion for leave to
2 exceed the page limit in their proposed motion for recusal (Doc. 1853) and Defendants
3 motion for leave to file a motion for discovery (Doc. 1855).
4 Plaintiffs and the United States do not object as a procedural matter to Defendants
5 motion for leave to file excess pages provided that, if granted, Plaintiffs and the United
6 States are also permitted the same number of pages in response to Defendants motion for
7 recusal.
8 Plaintiffs and the United States object to Defendants motion for leave to file a
9 motion for discovery for failure to comply with Local Rule 7.2(j). Contrary to Rule
10 7.2(j), Defendants have not sought to meet and confer with Plaintiffs and the United
11 States on this issue and have not filed a statement certifying that any such efforts were
12 made. Defendants motion should be denied.
13 If the foregoing motions are granted and the motion for recusal and motion for
14 discovery are deemed filed, Plaintiffs and the United States will oppose those substantive
15 motions. In addition to failing on the merits, Defendants motions are untimely and their
16 arguments were long ago waived. Defendants untimely and successive attempt to recuse
17 the Court and the Court-appointed Monitor appears calculated to obstruct compliance
18 with the remedial measures imposed by this Court following extensive findings of
19 unlawful conduct by Defendants. Defendants should not be allowed to further delay their
20 already woefully tardy compliance with the Courts Orders through these motions.
