PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION OF DENIAL OF SUMMARY
JUDGMENT A
On I anuary 31, 2006, the Court denied the plaintiffs’ partial motion for summary
judgment in the above-captioned matter, finding that genuine issues of fact exist regarding
plaintiffs’ claims under Count Eight of the Complaint that the defendant violated the Medicaid
Act by failing to ensure that children receive needed dental treatment under the Act’s Early and h
Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) provisions. The plaintiffs now
respectfully request, pursuant to Local Rule 7(c) that the Court reconsider its denial of summary
judgment to the plaintiffs with respect to this count. As set out more fully in the attached
memorandum, the plaintiffs contend that the Court committed clear errors of law in its analysis
regarding the plaintiffs’ EPSDT claim, misconstruing the evidence and legal standard applicable
to denials of EPSDT services. Therefore, the plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court
reconsider its grant of summary judgment with regard to the plaintiffs’ EP SDT claims under 42
U.S.C. §§ l396a(a)(43), and l396d(r)(3)(A) and (B), and enter an order granting the plaintiffs’
motion. I
