IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF FEDERAL CLAIMS S&M MANAGEMENT INCORPORATED, Plaintiff, v. THE UNITED STATES, Defendant. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) )

No. 06-155C (Judge Sweeney)

DEFENDANT'S THIRD UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR AN ENLARGEMENT OF TIME Defendant respectfully requests an enlargement of time of 28 days, to and including October 10, 2008, within which to file the joint status report requested by the Court in its June 16, 2008 opinion and order and in its August 13, 2008 order. The joint status report is currently due by September 12, 2008. This is defendant's third 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 parties continue to be engaged in settlement discussions. The parties have conferred concerning settlement but have yet to reach an agreement, although discussions thus far have been very productive. An enlargement of 28 days should allow the parties sufficient time to continue to explore the possibility of settling and to dismiss this matter if an agreement is reached. For these reasons, defendant respectfully requests that the Court grant its unopposed motion for a 28-day enlargement of time within which to file the joint status report. Respectfully submitted, GREGORY G. KATSAS Assistant Attorney General
