MOTION to Set Briefing Schedule re 713 MOTION to Compel Arbitration and for Stay Pending Arbitration by… (Dkt. 715)
Summary
Motion filed December 13, 2024 (Document 715) in In re: January 2021 Short Squeeze Trading Litigation (Case No. 21-MD-02989-ALTONAGA, S.D. Fla.), in which Robinhood Markets, Inc., Robinhood Financial LLC and Robinhood Securities, LLC ask the court to set a briefing schedule for their Motion to Compel Arbitration and for Stay Pending Arbitration (ECF No. 713). Robinhood proposes a response deadline of January 13, 2025 and a reply deadline of January 27, 2025, citing the good-cause standard of Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(1). It says all remaining plaintiffs except pro se Plaintiff Gatz agree, that settlement negotiations with several plaintiffs may make some responses unnecessary, and that the schedule allows for the holidays. Under the certificate of conferral, Gatz opposes and all other remaining plaintiffs consent.

TRADING LITIGATION

MOTION TO ESTABLISH BRIEFING SCHEDULE
Defendants Robinhood Markets, Inc., Robinhood Financial LLC, and Robinhood
Securities, LLC (collectively, “Robinhood”) respectfully request the Court to enter an order
establishing a briefing schedule regarding Robinhood’s Motion to Compel Arbitration and for Stay
Pending Arbitration [ECF No. 713] (“Motion to Compel”). Specifically, Robinhood requests that
the Court establish a response deadline of January 13, 2025, and a reply deadline of January 27,
2025.
Good cause exists to grant Robinhood’s requested briefing schedule. See Fed. R. Civ. P.
6(b)(1) (providing that a court may extend deadlines for good cause). First, all the remaining
plaintiffs agree to this briefing schedule, save for pro se Plaintiff Gatz. Moreover, Robinhood and
several of the remaining plaintiffs are in productive settlement negotiations. Extending the
briefing deadlines will give Robinhood and these plaintiffs time to continue their negotiations,
which likely will obviate the need for several remaining plaintiffs to respond to the Motion to
Compel. Finally, Robinhood’s requested briefing schedule takes into account the upcoming
holidays, preventing the plaintiffs and Robinhood from having to prepare briefs and coordinate
with clients during a time often marked by vacations and celebrations.
