undersigned to represent it in this matter in mid-May, 2005.1 However, the defendant s 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 discovery requests seek extensive information and the production of voluminous documents. As such, the

defendant needs additional time to conduct a proper investigation and respond accordingly. For instance, JAC is

requested to identify all employees, agents and owners of JAC and all independent contractors or consultants over numerous years. JAC is also requested to produce extensive accounting

and financial records, including bank statements, balance sheets and corporate minutes. Thirty days is not sufficient time to conduct the necessary investigation and prepare adequate responses.
