IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF FEDERAL CLAIMS CALIFORNIA OREGON BROADCASTING, INC., Plaintiff, v. THE UNITED STATES, Defendant. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) )
No. 06-116C Judge Firestone
JOINT MOTION FOR LEAVE OF COURT TO FILE OUT OF TIME JOINT STATUS REPORT Pursuant to Rule 6(b) and 6.1 of the Rules of the United States Court of Federal Claims, the parties respectfully request leave to file their joint status report out of time. On December 17, 2007, this Court entered an order staying this matter for 30 days and requiring the parties to file a joint status report on or before January 14, 2008. However, both defendant's counsel and plaintiff's counsel inadvertently missed the deadline for filing the joint status report. Defendant's counsel was unaware of the missed deadline until she received a call from Judge Firestone's assistant on or around January 30, 2008, reporting that a joint status report had not been received. We apologize for the oversight. Defendant's counsel promptly called plaintiff's counsel and agency counsel that same day to coordinate filing a joint status report as soon as possible. Accordingly, the parties respectfully request that the Court allow them to file their joint status report out of time. We regret this error and will take steps to ensure that it will not occur in the future.
