`
`PUBLIC REDACTED VERSION
`
`HOUSE OF RAEFORD FARMS, INC. CORRECTED ANSWER AND DEFENSES TO
`TRACK 2 DAP SECOND AMENDED CONSOLIDATED COMPLAINT
`
`Defendant House of Raeford Farms, Inc. (“HRF”), hereby answers and sets forth its
`
`affirmative defenses to Direct Action Plaintiffs’ (“Plaintiffs” or “DAPs”) Second Amended
`
`Consolidated Complaint and Demand for Jury Trial (“Complaint”, ECF No. 5456), and any
`
`subsequently filed joinders thereto, as follows. HRF denies each and every allegation in Plaintiffs’
`
`Complaint except as expressly admitted below. This Corrected Answer and Defenses adds answer
`
`text for Paragraph 853 of the Complaint.
`
`I.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`DAPs filed the original consolidated complaint [ECF Nos. 3924, 3922], an amended
`consolidated complaint [ECF Nos. 4243, 4244], and this amended consolidated complaint, in
`accordance with the Court’s direction “to streamline the pleadings so that there is o nly one
`complaint and one answer on the docket for the Court and parties to reference, rather than over
`100 separate direct-action complaints.” [ECF No. 4139 at 5]. As the Court has explained, “the
`purpose of the consolidated complaint [was] not to force a ny individual plaintiff to concede or
`make any allegation or claim.” Id. DAPs understand the Court’s orders to preserve the independent
`legal existence of each DAP case.
`
`Pursuant to the Court’s order for Track Two DAPs to file “an amended consolidated
`complaint” that “will be the operative complaint for Track Two DAPs” [ECF No. 5306], Track
`
`

`Case: 1:16-cv-08637 Document #: 7679 Filed: 04/25/25 Page 2 of 508 PageID #:670348
`
`
`
`Two Direct Action Plaintiffs (“DAPs” or “Plaintiffs”)1 submit this pleading to illustrate, but not
`exhaustively catalog, material allegations against the Defendants. 2
`
`Because of differences in the underlying DAP complaints, certain factual allegations may
`only relate or be material to the claims of certain DAPs. A given DAP does not necessarily adopt
`the allegations, theories or legal positions of other DAPs.
`
`The submission of this consolidated complaint should not be construed as a waiver or
`relinquishment of any DAP’s rights, including the due -process right to proceed outside of the
`putative class in this case and to prosecute claims separately in a direct ac tion with counsel of each
`DAP’s choosing. DAPs have not filed identical complaints and, in many instances, have sued
`different defendants and asserted different claims. 3 By compiling the factual allegations and claims
`from the various complaints pursuant to this Court’s order, DAPs do not concede that consolidation
`beyond that permitted by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure would be proper, especially for
`trial.4
`
`This Complaint is organized as follows: Section II sets out a chart identifying each Plaintiff
`and (1) the docket number on the consolidated docket for the underlying DAP complaint, (2) the
`Defendants named in the DAP complaint (if a Plaintiff has dismissed a Defendant, that Defendant
`is no longer listed in the Defendant column but in the named co -conspirator column), (3) the co-
`conspirators named in the DAP complaint, and (4) the causes of action asserted in the DAP
`complaint. Sections III through X set out the factual allegations. Section XI states all of the causes
`of action asserted by any DAP.
`
`ANSWER: DAPs’ “Introduction” contains no factual allegations to which a response is
`
`required. Instead, it contains DAPs’ legal conclusions and characterizations of this action,
`
`including their interpretation of orders of this Court and legal argument related to the sco pe and
`
`
`1 Given the consolidated na ture of this compla int, the plural usa ge of the term “Pla intiffs” is used throughout to
`genera lly describe one or more DAPs but should not be construed to necessarily refer to a ll DAPs for purposes of all
`fa ctua l a llega tions or lega l ca uses of a ction a s expla ined infra in this document.
`2 DAPs objected to filing a consolidated complaint [ECF No. 3625, 4695], a nd maintain those objections for a ll
`purposes, including a ny a ppea ls.
`3 For exa mple, some DAPs chose not to sue certain Defendants sued by other DAPs. Some DAPs decided to include
`RICO cla ims in their complaint; many did not. Many DAPs filed only Sherman Act cla ims. Others included state law
`cla ims, a nd some include indirect purchaser claims in their complaints. Each DAP has performed its own legal analysis
`of the ca uses of a ction a pplica ble to it ba sed on the fa cts specific to ea ch DAP.
`4 In submitting this pleading, DAPs continue to maintain their “separate lega l existence” and object to a ny loss of their
`individual due process rights. In re Fluidmaster, 149 F.Supp.3d 940, 947 (N.D. Ill. 2016) (quoting In re Refrigerant
`Compressors Antitrust Litig., 731 F.3d 586, 590-91 (6th Cir. 2013)); In re Zimmer Nexgen Knee Implant Prods. Liab.
`Litig., MDL 2272, 2012 WL 3582708, a t *3 (N.D. Ill. Aug. 16, 2012) (collecting cases that state that “a master or
`consolidated complaint is a procedural device used to promote judicial efficiency and economy, not to be given the
`sa me effect as a n ordinary complaint or considered to merge the suits into a single ca use, or cha nge the rights of the
`pa rties, or ma ke those who a re pa rties in one suit pa rties in a noth er.”) (interna l quota tion ma rks omitted).
