and thereafter filed a Metion te Dlsmiss, dated August t, 2003, and a Motion fer Partial

By Order dated February 28, 2006, the Court granted I—lamden‘s Motiens to
Dlsmiss and Motion for Partial Summary Judgment, and thereby summarity disposed of

Based upon the evidence adduced to date, Hamden anticipates seeking
summary disposition of this Count in the future. ln the interim, however, because this
Count remains, the Town is obliged to fiie an Answer and Affirmative Defenses. In
addition, all claims against co-defendant Olin Corporation remain pending,
This Court has scheduled a Telephone Status Conference in this matter, which
has been rescheduled for April T11, 2006 at 4 FEM. Because the status of the case
against Hamden may be one of the subjects of that conference, Hamden submits that it
should not be required to fiie an Answer untii after the conference is held. That way, the
parties' resources will not be unnecessarily used until it is clear they will be needed.
Hamden therefore requests that its time to file an Answer be extended until one week
after the conference is held,
Counsel for Hamden has contacted counsei for the Plaintiffs and for Olin
Corporation, Both have consented to this ll/lotion,
This is the first Motion for an Extension of Time that has been filed with respect
to an Answer to Count 17, but the Third Motion for an Extension of Time to Plead that
has been filed,
Wherefore, Hamden respectfully requests that the Court grant this Motion, and
extent its time to Answer the remaining Count of the Amended Complaint until one week
after the Status Conference is held.
