The Court issued an Order to Show Cause dated September 19,2007 directing

3.

The Attorney General was not aware of plaintiff' s lawsuit or the Order to Show

5 Cause until October 3,2007. In addition, the Attorney General was not served with Plaintiff' s 6 moving papers until October 4,2007. (Docket # 11.) According to the Attorney General' s 7 calculation, a response is due pursuant to the Order to Show Cause on or before October 9, 2007. 8 4. 1 have searched plaintiff' s moving papers for a phone number to contact him to

9 request a Stipulati on to extend our time to respond to his movin g papers, but could find no such 10 number. However, since it is the Court's Order to Show Cause that we are responding to, I am II 12 unclear whether a Stipulation from plaintiff would be of any effect in this matter. 5. The Attorney General requires more than the time allowed from the date of

13 service on October 4,2007 to the October 9,2007 date set by the Court in the Order to Show 14 Cause to adequately review plaintiffs moving papers and prepare a response to the Court' s Order IS to Show Cause.

6.

No previous time modifications have been given in this case whether by

17 stipulation or court order.
18

7.

The requested extension of time would require the Attorney General to respond to

19 plaintiffs moving papers on or before October 24, 2007. 20 1declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of this jurisdiction that the foregoing

21 is true and correct. 22 23 24 Executed this 5th day of October, 2007, at Sacramento, California.
