No. 07-174C (Judge Lettow)
DEFENDANT'S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR AN ENLARGEMENT OF TIME Defendant respectfully requests an enlargement of time of 39 days, to and including June 22, 2007, within which to file its answer or other responsive pleading that is currently due on May 14, 2007. This is defendant's first request for an enlargement of time for this purpose. Defendant has contacted plaintiff's counsel who has indicated that plaintiff does not oppose this request. The contract that is subject to dispute is almost 30 years old and the subject matter is complex. Agency counsel requires additional information from field offices that bear directly on the issue of the amount of potential liability. This information could take several more weeks until complete. Moreover, Government counsel will be out of the office on official travel from May 13 through May 17, 2007, when the answer would currently become due. Upon receipt of the necessary calculations, both parties will need some time to evaluate the possibility of settling the case. For these reasons, defendant respectfully requests that the Court grant its unopposed motion for a 39-day enlargement of time within which to file its answer or other responsive pleading.
