undersigned to represent them in this matter in mid-May, 2005.2 However, the Bulakites defendants former counsel did not ship

the files to Lynch, Traub, Keefe, & Errante until June, 2005. Thus, the undersigned needs additional time to become familiar with the files. Second, the undersigned recently completed a medical malpractice trial in Costantini, et al. v. Zarcu, et al., Docket No. CV-03-0473217-S, in Connecticut Superior Court in New Haven. Preparation for said trial took extensive time thereby making it impossible to prepare the discovery responses in this matter by July 15, 2005. Lastly, the discovery requests seek extensive information and the production of voluminous documents. As such, the

defendants need additional time to conduct a proper investigation and respond accordingly. For instance, the

Bulakites defendants are requested to identify all employees,

are also requested to produce extensive accounting and financial records, including monthly bank statements, tax returns and corporate minutes. Thirty days is not sufficient time to conduct the necessary investigation and prepare adequate responses. The undersigned represents that this is the first request submitted by his office in this matter requesting an enlargement of time to respond to this particular discovery. In addition,

with respect to the present request, the undersigned represents that counsel for the Wasley Defendants, Attorney Jean Tomasco, has no objection to a 30-day extension but does object to a 60day extension. Wherefore, the Bulakites Defendants respectfully request that they be granted until September 15, 2005 to file their responses to the Wasley Defendants and Requests for Production.
