In re: General Motors LLC Ignition Switch Litigation

Filing 377

ORDER, On November 14, 2019, the Potts Law Firm LLP ("Potts") filed a Motion for Declaratory Judgment on Assessments for State Filed and Unfiled Cases, along with a memorandum in support of that motion. See 14-MD-2543, ECF No. 7398. In light of the ongoing briefing with respect to a substantially similar motion filed by Bailey Cowan Heckaman PLLC ("BCH") on November 5, 2019, see 14-MD-2543, ECF No. 7368, the Court concludes that consolidated briefing would make sense. Accordingly, Lead Counsel shall file, no later than November 19, 2019, any opposition to both Potts's motion and BCH's motion, supported by a single memorandum of law not to exceed twenty-five pages, and Potts and BCH shall jointly file, no later than November 26, 2019, any reply in a single memorandum of law not to exceed fifteen pages. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate ECF No. 7397 as duplicative. SO ORDERED. (Responses due by 11/19/2019, Replies due by 11/26/2019.) (Signed by Judge Jesse M. Furman on 11/15/2019) (kv)
