IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA Meritage Homes Corporation, et al., Case No. CV-04-0384-PHX-ROS Plaintiffs, v. Greg Hancock, et al., Defendants. (Assigned to the Honorable Roslyn O. Silver) PLAINTIFFS' RESPONSE TO DEFENDANT HANCOCK'S MOTION TO STRIKE PLAINTIFFS' RESPONSE TO RULE 50 MOTION FOR DISMISSAL OR DIRECTED VERDICT
Meritage responds to Defendant Hancock's Motion to Strike. The process for filing the Response to the Rule 50 Motion for Dismissal or Directed Verdict began before 9:00 a.m. See Declaration of Lindsey Perez attached hereto as Exhibit A.1 Compliance The reason that the filing was not earlier was due to a transcription error for Allison Sommerhalter's trial testimony. See Declaration of Lindsey Perez attached hereto as Exhibit A. It could not be located because it was inadvertently marked as Desiree Coates' testimony. See id.

with the computer filing system took several minutes given the number of exhibits that had to be inputted and listed per the United States District of Arizona Electronic Case Filing Administrative Policies and Procedures Manual. See id. That filing was expedited without any delay and was completed before the time stamp put on by the District of Arizona. See id. It is worth noting that Defendant Hancock has not identified any prejudice from the computer filing delay. Defendant Hancock's counsel certainly had time to prepare his Motion to Strike. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED this 19th day of September, 2008. SNELL & WILMER L.L.P.
