ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S
MOTION FOR PAGE EXTENSION (Doc. 59)
Plaintiff Nexteer Automotive Corporation has filed an ex parte motion for
a page extension to file a 23-page reply brief in support of its motion to
confirm the arbitration award (Doc. 59). Defendant Korea Delphi Automotive
Systems Corporation (now known as Erae Automotive Systems Co. Ltd.)
opposes the page-extension and asks the court to strike plaintiff’s reply brief,
or in the alternative, allow it to file a sur-reply brief of 10-pages and to adjourn
the hearing scheduled in this matter for this Thursday, April 13, 2017. The
court finds that the page-extension is warranted.

On March 28, 2017,

defendant filed a supplemental brief without leave of court attaching a 1,400
-1-

page Singapore petition, which it referenced numerous times in its brief
opposing confirmation of the arbitral award, as well as a 55-page affidavit of
defendant’s managing director and head of its legal department. Given
defendant’s submissions, plaintiff’s request for a page-extension is warranted.

The court has considered defendant’s request that it be allowed to file
a 10-page sur-reply and that the hearing scheduled in this matter be
adjourned, but finds that is not necessary at this juncture. Should the court
determine at oral argument that defendant has been prejudiced by this order
granting plaintiff a page-extension, the court will consider allowing defendant
to file a sur-reply brief at that time. Accordingly, plaintiff’s motion for a pageextension (Doc. 59) is GRANTED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: April 10, 2017
