In re MCG Health Data Security Issue Litigation Doc. 34 Case 2:22-cv-00849-RSM-DWC Document 34 Filed 10/31/22 Page 1 of 7 Honorable Ricardo S. Martinez Honorable David W. Christel 1 2 3 4 5 6 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON AT SEATTLE 7 8 9 In re MCG Health Data Security Issue Litigation Case No. 2:22-cv-849-RSM-DWC STIPULATED MOTION RE: BRIEFING SCHEDULE AND PAGE LIMITS ON BRIEFING ON DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO DISMISS CONSOLIDATED COMPLAINT 10 11 12 13 NOTE ON MOTION CALENDAR: October 27, 2022 14 15 16 STIPULATION 17 The parties, by and through their undersigned counsel of record, respectfully request that 18 the Court enter a briefing schedule and grant leave to file overlength briefs relating to 19 Defendant’s forthcoming Rule 12(b)(6) Motion to Dismiss (to be filed on October 31, 2022) as 20 follows: 40 pages for Defendant’s Motion and Plaintiffs’ Response, and 20 pages for 21 Defendant’s Reply. These page limits exceed the pages permitted under LCR 7(e)(3). 22 Good cause for the additional pages is as follows: 23 1. On August 17, 2022, the Court consolidated nine related putative class actions. 24 Dkt. 31. On September 16, 2022, Plaintiffs in ten related cases filed the Consolidated 25 Complaint. Filed on behalf of 16 Plaintiffs, the Consolidated Complaint is 116 pages, including 26 525 paragraphs and 22 claims. Dkt. 32. The claims are wide-ranging. All Plaintiffs join in five 27 STIP. MOT. AND ORDER RE: BRIEFING SCHEDULE AND PAGE LIMITS ON DEF’S MOT. TO DISMISS - 1 (2:22-cv-00849-RSM-DWC) Dockets.Justia.com Case 2:22-cv-00849-RSM-DWC Document 34 Filed 10/31/22 Page 2 of 7 1 common law and two Washington statutory claims: negligence; breach of third-party beneficiary 2 contract; breach of confidence; unjust enrichment; invasion of privacy; violation of the 3 Washington Consumer Protection Act; and violation of the Washington Uniform Health 4 Information Act. The remaining claims are brought by individual Plaintiffs under state statutes 5 of California, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, and 6 Ohio. 7 2. Defendant intends to file a motion to dismiss all 22 claims in the Consolidated 8 Complaint. Given the sheer length of the Consolidated Complaint and the number of claims (and 9 associated defenses), additional pages beyond the normally allowed 24 pages are necessary to 10 adequately address the factual allegations and legal issues at issue. 11 3. Thus, there is good cause for the Court to allow the parties to submit briefs in 12 support of and in response to the Motion to Dismiss of no more than 40 pages each, and a reply 13 brief of no more than 20 pages. 14 4. In addition, the complexity of the briefing will require additional time for the 15 Plaintiffs to file a response to Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss. The parties previously agreed that 16 they would meet and confer and submit a stipulation regarding an appropriate briefing schedule 17 (Dkt. 30), which was ordered by the Court on August 17, 2022 (Dkt. 31). The parties therefore 18 request that the Court enter the following briefing schedule: 19 Plaintiffs’ Deadline to file Response to Motion to Dismiss: December 9, 2022 20 Defendant’s Deadline to file Reply to Motion to Dismiss: January 13, 2023 21 4. The parties respectfully request that the Court enter the order set forth below. 22 23 STIPULATED TO this 27th day of October, 2022 24 // 25 // 26 // 27 // STIP. MOT.
