Plaintiff filed his Response to Defendant' Motion for Summary Judgment on s However,
April 5, 2006, rendering Defendant' Reply due on or before April 24, 2006. s
Defendant requires a brief extension to adequately respond to the "factual background" in Plaintiff' Response, which, in sentence form, consumes five full pages of Plaintiff' Response. s s 3. Plaintiff previously sought an 11-day extension to file his Response to
Defendant' Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. # 54), which the Court granted (Doc. # 55). s Plaintiff then sought an additional 5-day extension to file his Response (Doc. # 56), which the Court again granted (Doc. # 57). Defendant has not previously sought any extensions to submit his Reply Brief in Support of Motion for Summary Judgment, nor have any extensions been agreed to. Moreover, the trial in this matter is not currently scheduled to commence for over a year, or until August 27, 2007. Thus, none of the parties will be prejudiced by this brief extension. 4. D.C.COLO.LCivR 6.1(B) provides that a party may file a motion for an extension
of time. The present motion comports with the requirements of D.C.COLO.LCivR 6.1(C) and (D). Pursuant to D.C.COLO.LCivR 6.1(D), undersigned counsel hereby certifies that a copy of this motion has been served upon Defendant via U.S. Mail, first class postage pre-paid. 5. For the foregoing reasons, Defendant has shown good cause to allow the
requested brief 7-day extension, or up to and including May 1, 2006 to submit his Reply Brief in Support of Motion for Summary Judgment.
