No. 06-360C (Judge Baskir)

DEFENDANT'S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE THE ADMINISTRATIVE RECORD ON CD-ROM AND WAIVE PAPER COPY Defendant 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. Our administrative record in this case will exceed the 2MB size limitation of electronic files and the 50 page limitation of printed documents provided in RCFC General Order 42A I. ¶¶ 4, 5. Counsel for the United States has contacted counsel for the plaintiff and counsel for the intervenor, and they do not object to this motion. The administrative record consists of several volumes. This voluminous set of documents can most efficiently be delivered to the Court,

the plaintiff, and the intervenor on a CD-Rom. This method will provide efficient and easy access to the record because we can submit the record in searchable format. More important, filing by another media provides the most efficient method for submission of the sealed version of the record. Pursuant to General Order 42A I. ¶ 7, the sealed administrative record may not be filed electronically unless authorized by the Court. We will file an unsealed copy of the record pursuant to ECF procedures and this Court's May 10, 2006 protective order. However, the sealed copy of the record is best secured by submission on CD-Rom. Based upon the portability and ease of manipulation of the documents on a CD-Rom, we also respectfully request that the requirement in paragraph 5 of General Order 42A that an additional paper copy be supplied to the Court be waived. We will, however, deliver a paper courtesy copy to chambers pursuant to the May 10, 2006 Special Procedures Orders. For these reasons, defendant respectfully requests that this unopposed motion for leave to file on CD-Rom and to waive the additional paper copy be granted.
