No. 02-24L Judge Francis M. Allegra

JOINT MOTION FOR ONE DAY ENLARGEMENT OF TIME TO FILE JOINT STATUS REPORT Plaintiff, the Pueblo of Laguna, and Defendant, the United States, (the "Parties"), respectfully move this Court for a one (1) day enlargement of time to and including Tuesday, May 15, 2007, for the filing of their periodic Joint Status Report ("JSR") concerning the ADR and document production process since their last JSR, filed on February 12, 2007. The Parties file a JSR with the Court every ninety (90) days to report on the progress in pursuing ADR, related document exchange issues, and other significant matters. The regular JSR is due today, May 14, 2007. While the Parties have diligently been pursuing communications regarding the current JSR, the review process has taken more time than originally projected. Specifically, in an effort to make the JSR useful and meaningful for the Court, the Parties have sought to be as detailed as possible and thus believe that a one (1) day extension for the filing of this JSR would be beneficial in achieving that objective. With permission of this Court, the Parties intend to file the JSR during business hours tomorrow, Tuesday, May 15, 2007. For the foregoing reasons, the Parties respectfully request that the Court grant this Joint Motion for One Day Enlargement of Time to File Joint Status Report. Dated: May 14, 2007.
