On November 14, 2011, G&G/ASC filed its first amended counterclaim, dkt. 94,

which added twenty-eight bond breach determinations to the six in its original counterclaim, dkt.

2.

Per FED. R. CIV. P. 15(a)(3), the United States has until November 28, 2011, to file

a response to G&G/ASC’s first amended counterclaim.
3.

Given the twenty-eight new bond breach determinations in G&G/ASC’s first

amended counterclaim, and considering the approaching holiday season, the United States will

not be in a position to respond to G&G/ASC’s first amended counterclaim by November 28.

Therefore, the parties stipulate that the United States’ time to respond to
