Logie , Case No. 11-cv-57, pending in U.S. District Court in Toledo. Then counsel was reqiuredto prepare for oral argument at the Sixth Circuit Circuit Court of appeals in a complicated environmental law appeal captioned Weiss v. Salazar , Case No. 10-1313, on October 11, 2011. Over 250 pages of briefing has been filed in that matter. Also as to that appeal, counsel must respond to a 13-page "Suggestion of Mootness" filed in Case No. 10-1313 on September 29, 2011, which is due prior to the oral argument, as undoubtedly the topic of alleged mootness will be an issue on October 11 at oral argument. Counsel further had to finalize and file a response to a motion for summary judgment in a state court insurance coverage case captioned Mason v. Hallowell , Case No. CI 0201007239, pending in Lucas County (Ohio) Court of Common Pleas on October 5. That motion forsummary judgment was filed in early August (and the response did get in). Finally, counsel had to research and prepare the late-filed memorandum in opposition to the FENOC and NRC motions to strike in this NRC operating license renewal case, laboring under the incorrect impression that he had until October 6, 2011 as a deadline, for which counsel apologizes.Intervenors filed on October 6 a 5 page memorandum setting forth arguments of law astheir opposition to the motions to strike. FENOC and the NRC Staff can ill maintain that they are prejudiced by the 3-day delay in filing, as the addition of 3 days to the overall time the Board expends in determining the motions to strike should be of negligible import.Intervenors submit that the longstanding, pre-existing workload of their attorney asoutlined above provides adequate explanation such as should allow their memorandum to be considered part of the record. Counsel and Intervenors do not have a record of delaying theseproceedings and have repeatedly met the time constraints imposed by NRC regulations and | |||
procedure. | |||
WHEREFORE, Intervenors pray the Court allow their opposition memorandum to themotions to strike to be deemed timely filed, instanter , as of October 6, 2011.Respectfully submitted this 7th day of October, 2011. | |||
