Plaintiff stated that Government counsel was contacted and did not oppose the extension. The Court hereby GRANTS Plaintiff's motion. Discovery shall conclude on or before Monday, December 31, 2007. The parties shall file a joint status report on or before Friday, January 4, 2008, providing to the Court any updates as to the parties' statements and proposals contained in the status report filed December 3, 2007. The telephonic status conference scheduled for December 6, 2007, is therefore rescheduled for Tuesday, January 8, 2007, at 3:00pm Eastern Time. One business day before the conference, counsel shall call Ms. Ellan Jackson at (202) 357-6483 or email chambers ([email protected]) to provide the phone number where he or she can be reached and to inform the court whether any others will be participating for that party (and, if so, their names and affiliations).

Such a request must be made at least five business days in advance of the conference. s/ Edward J. Damich EDWARD J. DAMICH Chief Judge
