       v.                     |          C.A. No. 95-1018

MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES IN SUPPORT OF PLAINTIFF'S THIRD MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO OPPOSE THE FEDERAL AND DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA DEFENDANTS' RESPECTIVE MOTIONS TO DISMISS OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT, AND REPLY TO DEFENDANTS' OPPOSITION TO PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION

The inherent powers of the Court.

Fed. R. Civ. P. Rule 6.

In a telephone conversation with Assistant United States Attorney Marina Utgoff Braswell reminded me that the Corporation Counsel has filed a precipe informing us that he is out of town until July 31, 1995.

I explained the problems I was having with respect to finalization of my Opposiiton which is presently due.

Ms. Braswell indicated that she would have no problem with an additional extention, except to the extent that, as a result of my tardy filing she might experience difficulty in meeting her own filing deadlines. She estimated that, if I agree to hand deliver a copy of my filings to her on Monday, July 17, 1995, she would be able to respond to those pleadings by July 31, 1995.

I assured her that I would have no objection if she were to require that much additional time, and agreed to hand deliver a copy of my pleadings to her office on July 17, 1995.

Respectfully submitted this 14th day of July, 1995.
