Here's a revised version. I'm waiting for final confirmation, but I think it's one we will be able to send out unless
either of you think we need to further revise it. Let me know.

Hi
Take a look at the attached — they specifically requested the removal of the "As you know" sentence. I
know you used the language at the end of the sentence below to mirror the statute, but it seems awkward, so I
revised, but I am not wedded to it.

What do you think of adding the following sentence at the end of the first paragraph of the letter?
As I know you have been made aware, the Office had legal and factual reasons for the manner in which
it communicated information about the NPA, but regardless of the legal defensibility of those actions
under the CVRA, we regret that the Office did not inform you about the NPA before it was signed and
that the Office acted in any manner that made you feel you were not being treated with fairness and
with respect.
Do you think it will address what CW said she wanted when we spoke to her?

The issue is trying to avoid Judge Marra setting his own schedule with a due date 21 days from now.
Why don't you send me a revised and approved letter that I can send to Brad so we can try to resolve this?

I think this is not an unreasonable schedule, but I think it will be tight given summer travel schedules, what I
recall of their motions and discovery requests, and the other unrelated issues we are all dealing with.
Have they actually asked us to set a new briefing schedule? It would be nice to see if we could at least make
one more proposal concerning the main pending settlement issue (i.e., the letter) and hear their response
before proceeding with briefing. I suspect that, because of travel issues (I seem to recall that Brad is traveling
this week and next), it will take some time to address any revised proposal concerning the letter. Personally, I
have always thought it a bad idea to be working on settlement negotiations and briefing at the same time, and I
think any settlement possibility is almost sure to evaporate if we file any substantive response.

Given everyone's travel schedules, how does 9130 for us, 10/21 for them, and 11/4 for the reply sound?
And I will ask about the discovery responses. To the extent that we have to respond, does 9/30 work for that,
too?

This is the last amended briefing schedule I have, D.E. 356. On February 10, 2016, petitioners filed their motion for
summary judgment (D.E. 361). Under the scheduling order, the government had 43 days (March 24, 2016) to file its
response to the motion for summary judgment, as well as the government's cross-motion for summary judgment.
Petitioners were allowed 19 days (April 12, 2016) to file their reply to the government's response to petitioners' motion
for summary judgment, and their response to the government's cross motion for summary judgment.
The government was allowed 14 days (April 26, 2016), to file their reply to petitioners' response to the government's
motion for summary judgment.
Also, we need to establish a new due date for the government's responses to the supplemental discovery requests
propounded on December 2, 2015, and December 29, 2015. Some of these may no longer be applicable since the
government decided not to assert the Wellcare argument. I am fairly certain Cassell insisted some of the requests for
production and for admissions were still relevant.
