WASLEY DEFENDANTS' MOTION FOR PERMISSION TO FILE SURREPLY MEMORANDUM IN RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFFS' REPLY BRIEF Defendants Wasley Products, Inc., Alan Wasley, Andrew Brady, Sandi Dumas-Laferriere and Barry Connell (the "Wasley Defendants") hereby move for permission to file a brief surreply memorandum, attached hereto as Exhibit 1, in response to plaintiffs' Reply Memorandum concerning the plaintiffs' Motion to Amend their Complaint and Motion for Certification of Derivative Status under Rule 23.1 in the case of Prentiss et al. v. Wasley Products, Inc. et al., Civ. No. 3:03 CV 1790 (MRK/WIG) ("Prentiss"). Plaintiffs raise new arguments in their reply memorandum, such as a claim that the fraud or concealment exception to ERISA's statute of limitations applies to the proposed claims concerning Wiblyi.
