PLAINTIFFS’ UNOPPOSED MOTION TO FILE A SINGLE OMNIBUS REPLY IN
SUPPORT OF MOTION TO CERTIFY QUESTIONS TO THE WASHINGTON STATE
SUPREME COURT
3
4
In order to increase efficiencies for the parties and the Court, Plaintiffs in the above-
5
captioned matters respectfully move this Court to allow them to file a single omnibus reply brief
6
of no more than 15 pages in response to Defendants’ oppositions to Plaintiffs’ Motion to Certify
7
8
9
10
11
Questions to the Washington State Supreme Court (the “Opposition Motions”). Plaintiffs have
conferred with counsel for Defendants and they do not oppose this request.
In support of this motion, Plaintiffs hereby state as follows:
1.
On February 18, 2021, Plaintiffs filed their Motion to Certify Questions to the
12
Washington State Supreme Court (“the Omnibus Motion”) in the above-captioned Marler,
13
McCulloch, Caballero, Chorak, Pacific Endodontics, Nguyen, Germack, and La Cocina de
14
Oaxaca actions.
15
16
17

23
2.
On March 10, 2021, Plaintiff Cadeceus LLC filed a substantively-identical Motion
to Certify Questions to the Washington State Supreme Court (the “Cadeceus Motion”) in the
above-captioned matter.
3.
On March 25, 2021, Defendants responded to the Omnibus Motion by filing a 30-
page Omnibus Opposition. Plaintiffs’ reply to this Omnibus Opposition is due April 8, 2021.
4.
On March 31, 2021, Scottsdale Insurance Company responded to the Cadeceus
Motion by filing a 5-page opposition, which, among other things, incorporated by reference the
arguments and citations in the March 25, 2021 Omnibus Opposition.
Plaintiffs’ reply to
24
25
26
Scottsdale’s opposition is due by April 14, 2021.
PLS.’ UNOPPOSED MOTION TO FILE SINGLE OMNIBUS REPLY
IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO CERTIFY
(Case Nos. 2:20-cv-00616-BJR; 2:20-cv-00809-BJR; 3:20-cv-05437BJR; 2:20-cv-00627-BJR; 2:20-cv-00620-BJR; 2:20-cv-00597-BJR;

5.
After review of the two oppositions, Plaintiffs believe it will be most efficient for
the parties and the Court if they respond to the two oppositions by filing a single omnibus reply
brief. Plaintiffs will limit their omnibus reply brief to 15 pages, i.e., half the number of pages used
in the Omnibus Opposition, and less than half of the combined total of pages used by the
Defendants collectively in the two opposition motions.
7
6.
Plaintiffs will file their single omnibus reply to both oppositions by April 8, 2021.

7.
Defendants do not oppose Plaintiffs’ request to respond to their oppositions by
9
10
11
April 8, 2021 with a single omnibus reply brief that is limited to 15 pages.
Now, therefore, Plaintiffs’ request, which Defendants do not oppose, to file an omnibus
reply brief limited to 15 pages should be granted.
