MOTION FOR LEAVE FOR SUPPLEMENTAL FILINGS

1. We believe additional filings are useful to bring into focus the factual and 

legal questions in dispute. Specifically, we think American misreads some of the 

authority on which we rely, ignores portions of our arguments, ignores the importance of 

the purpose that led American to cancel the JFK-LHR flight at issue (for Samstein), and 

ignores the longstanding prohibition on “unfair” conduct which we believe has occurred.

2. We requested American’s consent to the filing of further briefing, 

specifically a single reply from us and a single surreply from American. Counsel for 

American indicated that American objects to such further filing as unnecessary, and that 

American intends to oppose our motion for further filings.

3. By this motion, we request that the Department allow further briefing. We 

are ready to file our further briefing within one week or on such other schedule as the 

Department may specify.

4. Because our complaints and our proposed reply present identical facts and 

law, we file this motion jointly for administrative convenience. With the Department’s 

permission, we propose to file a single joint reply.

Respectfully submitted,

/s/

Darren Martin
