That would make our reply due December 12th. I think your proposal makes sense. The Office's concern is that, once the government files it response and cross- motion, the plaintiffs will not be in a conciliatory frame of mind. While we attorneys are used to being the subject of adversarial filings, putting that behind us, and still dealing with one another, it is harder for lay- people. So, if there is a path to settlement, we should do everything in our power to settle it now. I have no desire to be in an adversarial posture with the plaintiffs. Let me know if I can be of any assistance. I will draft up a motion/notice for the Court and share with you.
