In order to address fully the matters set forth in the declaration adn file an appropriate response, defendants respectfully reqquest this brief additional enlargement of time in which to file their opposition to plaintiffs' motion. Counsel for defendants regrets the delay to this litigation from this second enlargement of time.

Pursuant to Local Rule 108(m), counsel for defendant attempted to contact plaintiff William Thomas by telephone concerning this requested enlargement, but was unable to reach him. An Order considtent with this relief accompanies this motion.
