RESPONDENT RAGINGWIRE DATA CENTERS, LLC'S 

EXPEDITED MOTION OF ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING 

Pursuant to Rule 3.41 of the Federal Trade Commission's Rules of Practice, Respondent 

Raging Wire Data Centers, Inc. ("Respondent" or "Raging Wire") respectfully requests that the 

administrative hearing cmTently scheduled to begin on July 7, 2020, regarding the 

Administrative Complaint, dated November 5, 2019 (the "Complaint") (Dkt. No. 9386), be 

postponed until or after the week of August 3, 2020. Complaint Counsel does not oppose this 

motion, including the proposed hearing date. 

ARGUMENT 

Respondent seeks expedited treatment because a delayed mling could lead to wasted 

resources for Complaint Counsel and Respondent during their respective discove1y and pre-trial

preparations. Lead counsel for Respondent will also suffer prejudice in that he will be left in 

limbo as to whether to cancel his already-planned family vacation over the July 4 weekend (or 

cancel his attendance at said vacation). 

As alluded to above, Respondent requests this change in the hearing date because Corey 

Roush, lead counsel for Respondent, is scheduled to be absent on a planned family vacation the 

week immediately prior to the currently scheduled July 7, 2020 start of the administrative

hearing. Good cause exists for granting this unopposed motion because it will ensure all parties 

are sufficiently prepared for the administrative hearing. Moreover, moving the hearing date to 

August 3, 2020 (or thereafter) gives Complaint Counsel and Respondent additional flexibility 

with regard to the deadlines set in the Scheduling Order. 

Since there is no claim of ongoing deception or harm in this case, moving the start of the 

hearing will not have any impact on consumers or Respondent’s customers. Counsel for 

Respondent has conferred with Complaint Counsel on this issue on November 21, November 22, 

and December 3, and Complaint Counsel does not object. 

RELIEF REQUESTED

For the foregoing reasons, Respondent respectfully requests that the Federal Trade 

Commission exercise its discretion to postpone commencement of the administrative hearing in 

this matter until the week of August 3, 2020, or until such later date as may be convenient for the 

Commission or the Administrative Court. 

Dated: December 3, 2019 Respectfully submitted,
