On December 30, 2008, Respondents in the above-captioned matters filed a Motion for Extension of Time in which to comply with the exculpatory disclosure and certification requirements set forth in Judge Hogan's Case Management Order ("CMO"), as amended December 16, 2008. Although Respondents appear to have sought consent from counsel for the petitioners in some of the cases governed by the CMO, see Resp't Motion, Ex. A, Respondents did not confer with counsel for Petitioners in these cases before filing their motion. Had Respondents done so, counsel would have consented to the relief requested. Accordingly, Petitioners hereby consent to an extension of time until January 30, 2009 for the filing of exculpatory disclosures and certifications required by the CMO, as amended, in these cases.
