Dockets.Justia.com

In its April 10, 2009 Minute Order, the Court granted petitioners a forty-five day extension, until May 11, 2009, to file their opposition to the Government's Motion to Amend September 11, 2008 Protective Order and Counsel Access Procedures and January 9, 2009 Amended TS/SCI Protective Order and Counsel Access Procedures, Misc. No. 08-442, Mar. 11, 2009 (Dkt. No. 1684), and directed the government to file its reply within five days after petitioners filed their opposition. See Minute Order, Misc. No. 08-442, Apr. 10, 2009. As petitioners filed their opposition on May 11, 2009, respondents' reply is currently due on Monday, May 18, 2009. However, significant overlapping obligations related to this litigation, including other substantive briefing, render it difficult for respondents to comply with this deadline. Accordingly, respondents respectfully request a modest extension of four days, until Friday, May 22, 2009, to submit their reply. Respondents conferred with coordinating petitioners' counsel regarding the requested extension. Coordinating petitioners' counsel indicated that petitioners have no objection to such an extension.

Dated: May 15, 2009

Respectfully submitted,

TONY WEST Assistant Attorney General JOSEPH H. HUNT (D.C. Bar No. 431134) Director, Federal Programs Branch TERRY M. HENRY Assistant Branch Director
