On June 30, 2008, Plaintiffs responded in opposition to that motion by filing their consolidated Motion to Substitute Successors, and Response to Defendant's Motion to Dismiss, with Respect to Plaintiff Donald W.

According to Rules 6 and 7.2, Defendant's reply to Plaintiffs' response to its motion would be due on Monday, July 14, 2008, and Defendant's response to Plaintiffs' motion to substitute parties would be due on July 17, 2008. To accommodate Defense counsel's travel schedule, and to more efficiently respond in one document, Defendant hereby seeks an extension of time to Friday, July 18, 2007, to file a consolidated reply in support of its motion to dismiss Donald W. Goodman, and to respond to Plaintiffs' motion to substitute parties. Counsel for the parties conferred by telephone on July 1, 2008, with respect to this motion, and Plaintiffs do not oppose it.
