Case No. 96-166 C Chief Judge Edward J. Damich
ZOLTEK'S SECOND UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR A ONE (1) WEEK EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE ITS REPLY BRIEF REGARDING THE MOTION FOR SANCTIONS Zoltek Corporation ("Zoltek") respectfully moves this Court for an additional one (1) week extension of time to submit its Reply Brief in Support of Its Motion for Sanctions Under Rule 37 of this Court, to and including January 20, 2006. Zoltek has contacted counsel for the defendant, the United States ("U.S."), and the U.S. does not object to Zoltek's requested extension. This Court previously granted Zoltek a one (1) week extension of time to file its reply brief to and including January 13, 2006, due to the undersigned counsel's vacation and business travel spanning the two weeks after Christmas. Upon returning from business travel, the undersigned counsel is now required to deal with an urgent family matter which will require a substantial part of his attention during the present week. Additionally, the undersigned counsel learned yesterday that an in-law of a relative died, requiring the undersigned counsel to attend a funeral on Wednesday, January 11, 2005. Because of the time demands required to address these matters, the undersigned counsel for Zoltek requests an additional one (1) week extension of time to properly prepare a reply brief regarding the pending Motion for Sanctions.
