__________ MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME _________

No prior enlargement of this deadline has been requested. Plaintiffs' counsel has indicated that plaintiffs have no opposition to defendant's motion. As good cause therefore, defendant's counsel is still awaiting some information from the IRS that is needed to complete the defendant's responses to plaintiffs' discovery requests. The IRS has advised defendant's counsel that he will receive that information no later than November 28, 2007. Defendant will require some time after that date to incorporate the information from the IRS into the discovery responses. The brief enlargement sought by this 1
