CLASS ACTION

ORDER REGARDING 

MOTION TO AMEND 

FINDINGS OF FACT 

AND CONCLUSIONS 

OF LAW

On December 24, 2009, defendants noticed and filed a motion to amend the undersigned’s

findings of fact and conclusions of law with respect to modifying the compliance deadline of

April 15, 2010 (Dkt. No 348). Specifically, defendants seek to extend the timeline to allow for a

phased implementation plan due to the complexity of the various ways notices are sent to social

security recipients. The hearing on this motion is set for January 28, 2010. Plaintiffs, however,

expressly stated in their objections to defendants’ proposed implementation plan that they “do not

object to [d]efendants’ request” for “an extension of timelines” (Dkt. No. 346).

Notwithstanding this clear statement, plaintiffs are reminded that if they do not oppose the

December 24 motion filed by defendants to modify the April deadline, they must still file a

statement of non-opposition by January 7, 2010, pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-3(b). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
