Hon. Robert W. Gettleman
PLAINTIFFS MOTION FOR LEAVEINSTANTER
TO FILE A CONSOLIDATEDRESPONSE TO TRUDEAUS PROPOSED ORDER AND OPPOSITION TO HIS
REQUEST TO PAY HIS ATTORNEYS WITH MONEY BELONGING TO
CONSUMERS
Plaintiff Federal Trade Commission (FTC) moves the Court for leave to file a
consolidated reply to (1) Trudeaus Motion for To Release Assets for Payment of Attorneys
Fees (DE736) and (2) Trudeaus Response to the FTCs Proposed Order (DE735), both of which
Trudeau filed late Friday. Given the importance of this case and significance of these issues to
the receivership estate, good cause exists to permit the FTC to respond.
Additionally, the FTC seeks leave for its Consolidated Response to exceed the fifteen-
page limit by two pages. The Consolidated Response replies to two separate pleadings (one of
which is nine pages, and the other eight pages). Thus, the FTCs Consolidated Response is the
same length as Trudeaus two filings.
Finally, the FTC notices this motion for Tuesday at 8:30 AM, which is when the Court
scheduled a hearing regarding attorneys fees and the receiverships structure.
