               v.                  |
                                   |
     The United States, et. al.    |
           Defendants.             |

PLAINTIFFS' MOTION FOR ENLARGEMENT OF TIME

Plaintiffs respectfully request, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b), an enlargement of time, to and including May 31, 1995, within which to file their combined oppositions to the various motions filed by defendants on May 15th, 1995. In support of this motion, plaintiffs state as follows:

Due to the pressing workload of plaintiff W. Thomas, who bears primary responsibility for this matter, including an emergency matter this week, Thomaas has not had an adequate opportunity to prepare the pleadings due on this date. In addition, since defendants seek to dispose of the case, Thomas must carefully review the extensive pleadings in this matter to ascertain the factual inaccuracy and rationality of defendants arguements, and to refer the Court to the specific pleadings and filings which address any such preceived legal, factual and logical inaccuracies. Thomas further states that he has substantially begun the pleadings due to be filed today, but the extra three day delay accorded defendants in filing their pleadings, disrupted the schedule agreed to at the hearing on April 19, 1995.

This motion is sought in good faith and with deep regret for this essential delay in these proceedings.

WHEREFORE, plaintiffs respectfully request that the time within which they may file their combined reply to the various pleadings filed by defendants on May 15, 1995 be enlarged to and including May 31, 1995.

Respectfully submitted this 24st day of May, 1995,
