Hamed v. YusufCase No. SX-12-CV-370Defendants' Reply Memorandum of Law - Motion to StrikePage2 of7
Plaintiffs' gift for misdirection is impressive. Rather than sticking to the subject matter
of the instant motion (timeliness) that Plaintiffs' know they cannot win, Plaintiffs devote nearly
their entire ten-page brief to additional arguments for denying Defendants' Septemb er 25, 2014,
motion to strike their jury demand. Plaintiffs toss in some procedural arguments that nominally
touch upon the issue of untimeliness, but they have no cogent answer concerning the
implications of failing to oppose Defendants' September 25,2014, motion until more than 700
days after the time for doing so had expired.
Plaintiffs' memorandum is nothing more than an impermissible second bite at the apple -one that fell from the tree more than 700 days ago.
Defendants would be justified in filing another motion to strike to rid Plaintiffs' papers of
all arguments except as addressed to untimeliness, but these Dickensian games must end
sometime. Instead, Defendants simply ask the Court to ignore Plaintiffs' new and out-of-place
arguments about waiver and focus only on the small portion of Plaintiffs' brief (i.e., Hamed
Mem. at2-4) that actually addresses the timeliness issue.
ARGUMENT
All Motion Practice'Was Not (Staycd" Bv The Court
Plaintiffs contend that they did not oppose Defendants' September 25,2014, motion to
strike their jury demand because. a general stay, including motion practice, had been ordered by
the Court on October 7,2014, that has not yet been lifted. (Hamed Mem. at 2.) Plaintiffs rely
exclusively upon statements made by Defendants' counsel in a motion fited by Defendants on
June29,2016, seeking emergency relief from certain subpoenas Plaintiffs had served upon third

party banking institutions around that time.2 (Id. at 2-3.) In Defendants' motion papers their
counsel Gregory Hodges does write that "[d]iscovery in this case has been stayed since October
7,2014." (/d. Exhibit I T 1.)
Hodges' statement is accurate. Discovery had been stayed by the Court. But that is not
relevant. A review of the transcript of the October 7,2014, court conference at which the Court
purportedly entered a stay confirms (l) discovery was stayed; but (2) only motions "ancillary to
the primary focus" of the case "that are not primary, or that are not required to be addressed"
were to be held in abeyance. (Exhibit A at 6-7 (transcript of l0l7ll4 conference).) No doubt for
this reason, Plaintiffs, through their counsel Joel Holt, filed motions on October 23, 2014 (two),
October 28,2014, March 16,2015, and May 4,2015. Plaintiffs also filed substantive responses
to motions made by Defendants on October 24,2014, and April 1,2015, and notices of filing for
various Rule 26 supplemental disclosures on April 9,2015, and April 23,2015. (Exhibit B (copy
of docket for ST-12-CV-370).)
Clearly, if a general stay had been ordered, Plaintiffs themselves violated it repeatedly.
In any event, it is obvious that no stay of the type described by Plaintiffs was ever
ordered by the Court.
From the amount of ink they spill on the subject, Plaintiffs clearly view Defendants'
motion to strike their jury demand as "primary," not "ancillary." At least they do now. But
Plaintiffs wake from their sleep over 700 days since the alarm clock rang. They missed the
school bus.DUDLEY, TOPPER

2 Defendants are curious as to why Plaintiffs served the subpoenas in 2016 if they truly believedthe Court had imposed a stay in 2014. To cop Plaintiffs' own style (Hamed Mem. at 5),Defendants are "VERY" curious.
Hamed v. YusufCase No. SX-12-CV-370Defendants' Reply Memorandum of Law - Motion to StrikePage 4 of7
The best evidence that Plaintiffs' papers should be stricken? The fact that nowhere in
Plaintiffs' memorandum - nowhere - do they address (or even acknowledge the existence of)
LRCi 7.1(e)(1), Super. Ct. R. 9 and Super. Ct. R. l0(a)(2), the lynchpin of Defendants'
argument. (Yusuf Mem. at2-4.)3
Plaintiffs are no shrinking violets. That Plaintiffs stand mute on this key point speaks
volumes.
Indeed, Plaintiffs' brief contains no c¡tøt¡ons øt sll on lhe issue of timelíness. No
statutes. No cases. No court rules. Moreover, Plaintiffs make no attempt at all to distinguish
any of the cases and court rules cited by Defendants in support of their motion to strike. (See
Yusuf Mem. at2-6.)
As Defendants explained in their principal memorandum, Plaintiffs' only escape from the
consequences of their gross delay would involve proof of their "excusable neglect." (Yusuf
Mem. at 4.) Plaintiffs, however, never even attempted to make such a showing. Small wonder,
as Plaintiffs' mistaken belief (assuming arguendo they held one) that a general stay was in place
would not constitute excusable neglect. See Otoe County Nat. Bank v. W & P Trucking, Inc.,
754F.2d 881, 884 (1Oth Cir. 1985) (decided under "excusable neglect" provision in Fed. R. Civ.
P. 60(b). Nor did Plaintiffs move first for the Court's permission to file the offending document
as required under LRCi 7.1(e)(1) and Super. Ct. R. 10(a)(2).
Plaintiffs' neglect is not excusable.

3 LRCi 7.1(e)(1) provides: "A party shall file a response within fourteen (14) days after serviceof the motion. For good cause shown, parties may be required to file a response and supportingdocuments, including brief within such shorter period of time as the Court may specify, or maybe given additional time upon request made to the Court." Super. Ct. R. 10(a)(2) provides: "Onmotion, permit the act to be done after the expiration of the specified peìiod if the failure to actwas the result of excusable neglect." Both are clearly cited throughout Defendants'memorandum.

hand.
As indicated above, the bulk of Plaintiffs' memorandum is devoted to new arguments
the law of jury trial waiver. (Hamed Mem. at 4-9.) The Court must reject them out of
This issue has been fully briefed. Again, Defendants' motion was filed on September 29,
2014. Plaintiffs' opposition was filed on September 26,2016, although it is cagily captioned
"Hamed's Response Re Jury Issues." Defendants filed their reply on October 14,2016.
That Plaintiffs' opposition memorandum should be stricken does not mean that Plaintiffs
have a right to file a surreply. Pages 4 through 9 of Plaintiffs' October 18, 2016, memorandum.
are exactly that - an unauthorized surreply addressing an issue that the parties have already
briefed in full.
Pursuant to LRCi 7 .l(a), "[o]nly a motion, a response in opposition, and a reply may be
served on counsel and filed with the Court; further response or reply may be made only by leave
of Court obtained before filing," and the Court may sanction counsel for violation of this
limitation. Unless prior leave is sought and granted, a party has no right to file a suneply. See
Pollara v. Chateau St. Croix, LLC,2016 wL 2865874, *8 (Super. Ct. May 3, 2016) (D. Brady,
J.) ("Plaintiffs have not sought leave to file a surreply and have not filed any supplement to their
Opposition. As such, the Court has a complete record of all information necessary to determine
whether the gist of the action doctrine bars Plaintiffs'tort claims.").
Plaintiffs did not seek the Court's permission to file a surreply. Pages 4 through 9 of
Plaintiffs' brief must be disregarded, in connection with both this motion and Defendants'
September 2014 motion to strike.
CONCLUSION
Defendants' motion to strike should be granted.
