SECOND MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME li
. The defendants, Keith Scott, Hilliard Foster, James Cassidy, Garrell Mullaney and Laurie
Arata, request a thirty (30) day extension for the filing of an answer or other responsive pleading K
on their behalf from December 10, 2003 until January 9, 2004, for the following reasons: I
_ The plaintiff has sued the defendants in both their official and individual capacities.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 5-14ld requires the state, through the Attorney General, to provide for the
defense of state officers or employees who are sued individually regarding the performance of
their duties, unless the Attorney General, based on his investigation, determines that it would be
inappropriate to do so. The process of conducting the investigation referenced in Conn. Gen.
Stat. § 5-14ld, including receiving and reviewing all pertinent information from the Department
of Mental Health and Addiction Services, and of arranging for the representation of the 5
defendants in their individual capacities has not yet been completed. The undersigned, who has
appeared for the defendants in their official capacities, has been advised by the Department that I
staff reductions- occasioned by layoffs and early retirements have resulted in delays in compiling
reports used for purposes of determining whether to offer individual representation to
Department employees named as defendants in lawsuits.
Accordingly, for these reasons, the defendants respectfully request an extension of time
