UNITED STATES OF AMERICA'S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO RESPOND TO PLAINTIFFS' MOTION TO STRIKE On September 14, 2007, plaintiff filed a Motion to Strike summary judgment exhibits attached to the United States' Response to Plaintiffs' Motion for Summary Judgment. Counsel for the United States mis-calendered the response date. While the United States has begun work on the response, additional time is needed to fully respond to the motion. Additionally, the parties are currently engaged in settlement talks which may obviate the need to respond. For these reasons, the United States requests that a two week extension be granted to respond to plaintiffs' Motion to Strike.
