No. 05-921C (Judge C. Miller)
DEFENDANT'S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR ENLARGEMENT OF TIME Defendant respectfully requests the Court to grant an enlargement of time of 46 days, to and including January 30, 2006, within which to file its reply in support of its motion to dismiss. The response is currently due on December 15, 2005. Counsel for plaintiff has informed counsel for the defendant that he does not oppose this request for an enlargement of time. No previous enlargements of time for this purpose have been requested or granted. Counsel for the defendant requests the additional time because she has other commitments that require a substantial amount of her time. First, she had an oral argument on cross-motions for judgment on November 29, 2005, in Precision Standard, Inc. v. United States, No. 05-1125C (Fed. Cl.), a bid protest proceeding. She also has an oral argument on December 9, 2005, before the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Discenza v. Navy, No. 05-3078 (Fed. Cir.). She is required to file a post-trial brief on December 16, 2005, in Spodek v. United States, No. 03-1444C (Fed. Cl.). A reply brief in the same case is due on January 11, 2006, and a closing argument will be held on January 17, 2006.
