UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT JOHN WARD Plaintiff VS. ROBERT MURPHY Investigator for State of CT. et al Defendants : : : : : JULY 6, 2004 CIVIL ACTION NO.: 3:01 CV 1908 (AVC)
OBJECTION TO PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME DATED JUNE 24, 2004 Pursuant to F.R.C.P 6(b) and D. Conn. L. Civ. R. 7(b)(2) and (3), the undersigned defendants hereby object to the plaintiff's motion for extension of time dated June 28, 2004. The plaintiff, John Ward, has failed to comply with the procedural requirements set forth in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 7 (b) 2 and 3 with respect to moving for an extension of time. Specifically, the plaintiff failed to inquire of opposing counsel as to their position regarding his motion for an extension of time and failed to make a "particularized showing" that the time limitation in question cannot reasonably be met despite his diligent efforts. Additionally, the plaintiff has filed a total of 17 motions for an extension of time since the commencement of this action in October of 2001. ORAL ARGUMENT NOT REQUESTED TESTIMONY NOT REQUIRED

These motions have prejudiced the undersigned defendants and resulted in significant delays to these proceedings. In further support of this objection the undersigned defendants rely upon the codefendants' (Robert Murphy, et al.) objection to plaintiff's motion for extension of time dated June 24, 2004. Wherefore, for the foregoing reasons, the undersigned defendants request this Court sustain their objection to the plaintiff's motion for extension of time.
