GERALD E. ROTH, et. al., Plaintiffs, v. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Defendant. _________________________________________
Honorable Emily C. Hewitt
DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR AN ENLARGEMENT OF TIME IN WHICH TO FILE DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO DISMISS Defendant UNITED STATES hereby moves pursuant to RCFC 6(b) for an enlargement of time of seven (7) days from the current deadline, to and including Tuesday, March 21, 2006, in which to file Defendant's Motion to Dismiss. The motion is currently due on Tuesday, March 14, 2006. This is Defendant's first request for an extension of time regarding this matter. This enlargement of time is necessary because defendant has not received ownership documents from plaintiffs. As these documents directly relate to defendant's motion, defendant requires additional time to review the documents after their receipt. Counsel for defendant has attempted to reach counsel for plaintiffs on three occasions to discuss this motion, but attempts to reach counsel for plaintiffs have been unsuccessful.
