Rosen speaking - .pdf page 21-22
With respect to the effort to get the additional
12 thirty minutes, as I indicated to some people yesterday, in
13 preparation for this, Your Honor, I feel like that man in the
14 old FedEx commercials who has to speed talk to get through all
15 of the issues within thirty minutes. And --
16 THE COURT: Well, do you? Because I don't want to
17 hear you repeating your brief.
18 MR. ROSEN: And Your Honor, I don't want to repeat the
19 brief. And as we told you last week --
20 THE COURT: Yes.
21 MR. ROSEN: -- and we told you at the conclusion of
22 the confirmation hearing, as Mr. Folse said as well, we would
23 have been happy not to have this day in court, Your Honor. We
24 thought --
25 THE COURT: Then you can sit down and not say
anything.
2 MR. ROSEN: That's nice, though, Your Honor --
3 THE COURT: That's an option.
4 MR. ROSEN: -- I appreciate that, but if you're going
5 to be giving it to everybody, we want our equal share. And
6 that's the way, I think, a lot of other people view it, as
7 well. So if you're giving people an hour to present the
8 arguments that other people are being forced to present in
9 thirty minutes, we think that's inequitable.
10 THE COURT: All right, let me rule.
11 Again, I don't want to hear anybody just repeating
12 what's in their briefs. I read the briefs. I'm a long way
13 towards issuing a decision. I've read the cases that the
14 parties have cited, so I'm familiar with the issues. I want
15 people to be concise and hit what they think are the main
16 points of their arguments only.
