Plaintiff's amended complaint contains several new allegations that defendant intends to address in its briefing of the merits in its response. Defendant requires additional time in order to

fully investigate these additional allegations, decide on an appropriate response and obtain the necessary internal and agency review and approval of its revised response. We therefore respectfully request that the Court grant defendant's motion for an enlargement of time of seven days within which to file its response.
