Did a little more reading and came across Hobson's Choice. I have never heard of that before (showing my ignorance)

From Wiki

A Hobson's choice is a free choice in which only one option is offered. As a person may refuse to take that option, the choice is therefore between taking the option or not; "take it or leave it".

The next lines after reading it in the filing say "either address Plaintiffs’ misplaced arguments on the merits
and waive well-founded objections to Plaintiffs’ improper evidence or object to Plaintiffs’
improper evidence and leave some of Plaintiffs’ arguments unrebutted."

Catch-22 maybe??? Im assuming that they need more than 10 pages to reply to G's brief that we asked for an extension for.

A little more - "... Plaintiffs’ affidavits are so rife with
inadmissible testimony that, absent leave of Court, the majority of Defendants’ reply brief would
be filled with evidentiary objections rather than addressing the merits of Plaintiffs’ opposition
brief. Defendants should not have to choose between objecting to clearly inadmissible evidence
and refuting Plaintiffs’ meritless arguments. Accordingly, Defendants respectfully request leave
to file a separate document containing objections to the affidavits submitted by Plaintiffs."

And Lastly - "...As required, Defendants have met and conferred with Plaintiffs, and Plaintiffs will not
agree to allow Defendants to file separate evidentiary objections."

something else that I learned (showing my ignorance once again)

LEAVE OF COURT. The grant by the court of something, which, without such grant it would have been unlawful to do.

"...would have been unlawful to do"

I kind of chuckled at that part. So then is it unlawful to submit their objections with more than 10 pages? Is that why they need more "room" so they can "address Plaintiffs’ misplaced arguments on the merits
and waive well-founded objections to Plaintiffs’ improper evidence" AND "object to Plaintiffs’
improper evidence" WHILE not leaving some of the Plaintiffs arguments "unrebutted".

Yall know MORE than me, so help me understand this one.
