On January 15, 2007, the Moving Defendants, pursuant to a prior agreement between the parties, served their Motion to Dismiss the Complaint in Civil Action 06-CV-02189. Pursuant to the Briefing Schedule previously agreed by the parties and approved by this Court, Plaintiff's Answering Papers were due on February 14, 2007, and the Moving Defendants' Reply Papers were due on March 16, 2007. Through no fault of the Moving Defendants the said Motion Papers were received late by the I. Walton Bader, Esq., and a cursory reading of the Moving Defendants' Papers indicated substantial legal issues that must be addressed by the parties and which will require more research time than was originally believed. In addition I. Walton Bader, Esq. was confronted with serious family problems which were required to be addressed immediately which also required substantial expenditure of time on the part of I. Walton Bader, Esq. By reason thereof I. Walton Bader, Esq. contacted counsel for the Moving Defendants and obtained their consent for the time extension sought. Accordingly this application is made prior to the time when Plaintiff's Answer Papers would be due as provided in Rule 6(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The Plaintiff therefore respectfully submits that this motion be granted. An appropriate Order is also being submitted pertaining to this Motion.
