IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF FEDERAL CLAIMS BASS MANAGEMENT, INC. VS. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA PLAINTIFF'S JOINDER IN DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME FOR FACT DISCOVERY Bass Management, Inc. joins with the Defendant in mutually requesting the Court enlarge the discovery period through February 5, 2007. The parties have made great strides in settlement negotiations which, if finalized, will moot the need for additional discovery. Indeed, presently it appears that the parameters of a settlement in principle have been determined, subject to Bass Management's attempt to resolve the contractual and financial problems presented by its sublease with Hill's Lake Escape. [Any settlement would also be subject to review and approval of DOJ supervisory level officials.] Furthermore, without conceding Defendant's various CIVIL ACTION NO. 1:07cv00056
contention of inadequate discovery responses, the additional time will enable the parties seek an amicable resolution of Defendant's concerns without having to bring the matter before the Court.
Respectfully submitted,
