No. 05-746C (Judge Susan G. Braden)

DEFENDANT'S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR ENLARGEMENT OF TIME TO RESPOND TO PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT Pursuant to Rule 6(b) of the Rules of the United States Court of Federal Claims, the United States respectfully requests an enlargement of time of 60 days, to and including November 9, 2005, within which to respond to plaintiff's complaint. Our response is currently due on September 9, 2005. This is our first request for an enlargement of time for this purpose. Counsel for both parties have discussed this motion, and plaintiff's counsel has indicated that there is no objection to the granting of this motion. The United States requests this enlargement of time because the agency's litigation report has not yet been received. Additional time is needed by the agency to review the allegations contained in the complaint, to perform the necessary legal research, and to prepare the litigation report. The agency anticipates that the litigation report, including the draft answer to the complaint, will be provided by October 15, 2005. Accordingly, we respectfully request the Court to enlarge the time to respond to plaintiff's complaint to and including November 9, 2005. Respectfully submitted, PETER D. KEISLER Assistant Attorney General
