IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF FEDERAL CLAIMS FENTON GINGERICH, et. al. Plaintiffs, V. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Defendant. § § § § § § § § §

DOCKET NO. 98-533 T JUDGE LETTOW

PLAINTIFFS' UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME Pursuant to RCFC Rules 6(b) and 6.1, plaintiffs Fenton Gingerich, et al., move this Court for an enlargement of 28 days, from February 9, 2007, to and including March 9, 2007, of the deadline for the parties to file their Post-Trial Briefs, and a similar enlargement, from February 26, 2007, to and including March 26, 2007, of the deadline for the parties to file their Post-Trial Reply Briefs. One joint request for an extension of 15 days was previously filed by the parties and granted by this Court. Plaintiffs' counsel makes this request for good cause. Plaintiffs' counsel here is also the taxpayer's counsel in Hinck v. United States, currently pending before the United States Supreme Court at docket no. 06-376. The merits brief in Hinck is due to be filed on or before February 26, 2007. Because the Supreme Court rules require special printing and binding, the merits brief must be completed no later that Monday, February 19, 2007. Plaintiffs request the extension in this case in order to allow sufficient time for their counsel to properly address both the important issues before the Supreme Court in Hinck and before this Court in their case.
