extension of time until October 7, 2011, to file their reply in support of their Motion to
Dismiss. This is the first stipulation seeking an extension of time.
Federal Defendants’ reply is currently due on September 19, 2011. Federal
Defendants request this extension of time because they need additional time to prepare a
reply memorandum responding to each of Plaintiffs’ arguments. One of the attorneys
with primary responsibility for this litigation will be unavailable September 12-29, 2011
due to previously scheduled travel, while the undersigned counsel for Federal Defendants
will be in trial on another matter the week of September 26, 2011. Plaintiffs agree to the
stipulation without objection.
A proposed order is attached.
Dated: September 9, 2011.
