Plaintiffs,
v.

Case No: 5:18-cv-458-Oc-30PRL

AON HEWITT INVESTMENT
CONSULTING, INC. and ALIGHT
SOLUTIONS, LLC,
Defendants.

ORDER
The parties have filed various motions for summary judgment (Docs. 120, 122, 131) and
to exclude expert reports and testimony (Docs. 118, 119), all of which have been referred to the
undersigned for preparation of a report and recommendation. (Doc. 132). Defendants have filed
an unopposed motion for oral argument as to the pending motions. (Doc. 144). They request that
the argument be conducted via Zoom and that the Court reserve 3.0 hours: 1.5 hours for Plaintiffs,
1.0 hour for AHIC, and 30 minutes for Alight. Upon due consideration, Defendants’ unopposed
motion (Doc. 144) is GRANTED. The Court will hear oral argument on the pending motions at
9:00 a.m. on February 10, 2021. Counsel will receive the zoom invite via email.
In addition, with respect to the motions to exclude experts, Defendant AHIC seeks leave
to file a 5-page reply to each of Plaintiffs’ responses. (Doc. 152). Upon due consideration,
Defendant’s motion (Doc. 152) is GRANTED. Defendant AHIC may file a five-page reply to
each of Plaintiffs’ responses (Docs. 149, 150) by January 22, 2021 and Plaintiffs may file a five-

page sur-reply to each of the replies by February 5, 2021. No extensions will be granted because
the Court needs time to review all filings prior to oral argument.
Finally, more than three weeks after Defendants filed their respective motions for summary
judgment (Docs. 120, 122) and Defendant AHIC filed its motions to exclude experts (Docs. 118
and 119), Defendant Alight filed a notice of its joinder in Defendant AHIC’s motions to exclude
experts, and in certain arguments raised in Defendant AHIC’s motion for summary judgment.
(Doc. 147). Plaintiffs filed an opposition to the notice of joinder (Doc. 151) and Defendant Alight
now seeks leave to file a reply to the opposition. (Doc. 153). Because it would be helpful for the
Court’s resolution of the matter, the motion (Doc. 153) is GRANTED. Defendant Alight may file
a 7-page reply to Plaintiffs’ opposition by January 22, 2021. The parties should be prepared to
address this issue at oral argument.
DONE and ORDERED in Ocala, Florida on January 8, 2021.
