No. 08-21 (Judge Futey)

DEFENDANT'S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE THE ADMINISTRATIVE RECORD ON CD AND TO WAIVE PAPER COPY Defendant, the United States, respectfully requests leave to file the administrative record utilizing a CD-Rom. This case is designated an electronic filing case pursuant to the Court's CM/ECF system. The administrative record in this case will exceed the 2MB size limitation applicable to electronic files and the 50 page limitation applicable to printed documents provided in RCFC General Order 42A I. ¶¶ 4, 5. Plaintiff's counsel has indicated that he does not oppose this motion. The administrative record is a voluminous set of documents and can most efficiently be delivered to the Court and the plaintiff on a CD-Rom. This method will provide efficient and easy access to the record because we can submit the record in searchable format. Furthermore, pursuant to General Order 42A I. ¶ 7, the sealed administrative record may not be filed electronically unless authorized by the Court. Filing by another media provides the most efficient method for submission of the sealed version of the record.
