FEDERAL DEFENDANTS' UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR ENLARGEMENT OF TIME

Pursuant to Rule 6(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, federal defendants respectfully move this Court for an enlargement of time, up to and including July 31, 1995, in which to respond to plaintiff's opposition to federal defendants' dispositive motion and filed June 14, 1995. As of July 14, 1995, counsel for federal defendants still had not received plaintiff's opposition brief. Counsel spoke to plaintiff on that day, and he indicated that he was making every effort to file it on July 14th but seemed unsure as to whether it would in fact get filed. No copy on any filing was delivered to defense counsel on that date.

Consequently, this motion for enlargement of time is necessary in order for defense counsel to receive plaintiff's opposition brief and to coordinate federal defendants' response with various agency representatives. Moreover, defense counsel has three depositions scheduled for this week and an oral argument in this Court, thereby reducing the amount of time she is available to spend on this case this week.

By telephone call on July 14, 1995, plaintiff informed

1

defense counsel that this motion will not be opposed.

Accordingly, for the foregoing reasons, defendants respectfully request that this motion for enlargement of time be granted

Respectfully submitted,
