SEPTEMBER 3, 2004
MR. LISTON'S MOTION FOR PERMISSION, NUNC PRO TUNC, TO FILE A LATE REPLY TO THE PLAINTIFF'S OPPOSITION TO HIS MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
1. 2.
Mr. Liston filed a motion for summary judgment on June 11, 2004. The plaintiff requested and obtained an extension of time until July 28, 2004, to
file his opposition, as counsel had a vacation planned. 3. Upon his return from vacation, the plaintiff was unable to complete his opposition
in the time originally requested and sought an additional extension of a few days, which was consented to by the undersigned counsel for Mr. Liston. 4. On or about August 2, 2004, the plaintiff's brief in opposition was received by the
undersigned counsel for Mr. Liston. 5. On or about August 6, 2004, the undersigned counsel for Mr. Liston filed, with
the consent of plaintiff's counsel, a motion for a two week extension of time, until September 2, 2004 to file a reply, due to a pre-planned family vacation of counsel during the weeks of August 9th and 16th.

6.
Unfortunately, due to the pressure of work obligations and issues that arose
during the undersigned's vacation, the undersigned was unable to timely file the reply brief by September 3, 2004. 7. At approximately 9:00 a.m. on the morning of Friday, September 3, 2004, the
undersigned counsel for Mr. Liston contacted Mr. Pattis to obtain his consent to file the reply late due to the undersigns' inability to file it timely. Mr. Pattis was not in the office so a message was left on his machine. As of Friday afternoon, no message had been received from Mr. Pattis, so his position is unknown, however, his client will not suffer any prejudice if this extension is granted, whereas Mr. Liston may. 8. This is Mr. Liston's second request for an extension of time to file papers related
to his motion for summary judgment.
