MOTION OF THE UNITED STATES FOR ENLARGEMENT OF TIME

The United States respectfully moves the Court for an enlargement of time of 12 days, from July 5, 2007, to and including July 17, 2007, within which to file the chart required by the Court's order of May 2, 2007.

provided plaintiffs with a draft of the chart with a cover page on May 17, 2007. 4. On July 5, 2007, close to 2:30p.m. est., plaintiffs responded via facsimile to

defendant's proposal and telephoned defendant to discuss the chart. 5. Defendant is in the midst of finalizing a brief for filing tomorrow and can not

review plaintiffs' proposed changes and work with plaintiffs on revision of the chart and cover page. Additional time is needed to consider and resolve the matters plaintiffs are now raising. Accordingly, the United States respectfully requests an enlargement of time of 12 days, from July 5, 2007, to and including July 17, 2007, within which to file the chart and cover page.
