ORDER
Defendants - Appellees.
Before: Peter L. Shaw, Appellate Commissioner y
The court is in receipt of appellant’s motion for enlargement of time to file
the opening brief late. The first extension was granted on June 28, 2006 pursuant
to Ninth Circuit Rule 31-2.2(a), which provides for a one-time telephonic
extension of no more than 14 days. This court expends substantial resources in
monitoring such telephone requests as an accommodation to the bar, with the p
expectation that the court will not be further burdened by additional written
requests. The rule itself specifies that extraordinary circumstances must occur to
justify a second extension of time. Here, counsel has not advanced extraordinary
circumstances in support of the current extension request.

Nonetheless, in the interests of justice, the motion is granted. The court
does, however, expect counsel to request telephonic extensions only when counsel
anticipates that the brief will in fact be tiled within the 14 days. The opening brief
is due August 7, 2006. The answering brief is due September 6, 2006. The
optional reply brief is due 14 days after service of the answering brief. 6
Appellant is reminded that the typeface of a motion must comply with the
requirements of Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 27(d)(l)(E).
