PLAINTIFFS’ NOTICE REGARDING SERVICE OF ECF NO. 112 & NO. 113

In the Certificates of Service corresponding to ECF No. 112 and No. 113, counsel for Plaintiffs indicated that “the foregoing document was transmitted via using the CM/ECF system, which automatically sends notice and a copy of the filing to all counsel of record.” ECF No. 112 at 6; ECF No. 113 at 5. Upon making these filings, counsel did not take into account that the pro se filers of the motions to which ECF No. 112 and No. 113 are responsive are not registered with the CM/ECF system. Therefore, they could not receive Plaintiffs’ filings as initially served. On January 17, 2017, counsel for Plaintiffs realized the deficiency in the service of ECF No. 112 and No. 113 with respect to the aforementioned pro se filers. On that same date, counsel sent, via U.S. mail, copies of ECFs No. 112 and No. 113 to each of the pro se filers. Counsel hereby provides notice that he has completed service of ECF No. 112 and No. 113 by mail, as provided under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure Rule 5(b)(2)(C) (permitting service by mail). Plaintiffs do not contest extending deadlines to reply to ECF No. 112 and No. 113 in order to accommodate any delay in the service of these responses on pro se filers by mail.
