Pursuant to Rule 26(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and for the following reasons, the parties hereby move the Court to modify the period in which parties may serve requests for admissions and contention interrogatories. Lead Plaintiffs request that this discovery now be served between July 7, 2006 and August 7, 2006. As good cause therefore, Lead Plaintiffs state: On October 27, 2005, pursuant to an agreed upon motion, the Court ordered that the parties had to serve any requests for admissions and contention interrogatories between January 6, 2006 and February 6, 2006. As previously noted, Qwest has asked for reconsideration or leave to appeal the Court's order compelling Qwest to produce approximately 220,000 pages of documents that it produced to the SEC pursuant to written confidentiality agreements ("Limited Waiver Documents"). That motion is currently pending before District Judge Robert E. Blackburn. In addition, the Court granted Qwest's motion to stay production of the Limited Waiver Documents pending review of that issue by the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. Also, pursuant to the request of the United States Attorney for the District of Colorado, the Court has delayed the depositions of various deponents, including all the individual parties to this action. Finally, on November 23, 2005, Lead Plaintiffs filed an Unopposed Motion for Preliminary Approval of Class Action Settlement which settled all claims against the defendants, with the exception of defendant Joseph P. Nacchio and defendant Robert S. Woodruff. Therefore, in order to reduce the burden on the parties and the Court, the parties ask that the Court modify the period for the parties to serve requests for admissions and -1-
