ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP'S FIRST AGREED MOTION FOR ENLARGEMENT OF TIME TO RESPOND TO PLAINTIFFS' AMENDED COMPLAINT
Defendant Arhur Andersen LLP ("Andersen") moves the Cour, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ.
P. 6(b), for an enlargement of
time through and including June 15,2007 to respond to Plaintiffs'
Amended Complaint. Plaintiffs, through counsel, have granted their agreement to this Motion.
As grounds for this Motion, Andersen states:
1. On March 23,2007, Andersen, through counsel, agreed to accept service of
the
Amended Complaint on behalf of Andersen. i
2. Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12, Andersen's response to the Amended Complaint is
originally due on May 22,2007.
3. Counsel for Andersen also represents Michael S. Mar and P. Anthony Nissley in
this matter. These two defendants are filing motions to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction
under Fed. R. 12(b)(2) in accordance with the original May 22,2007 response date.
i Andersen was not named as a defendant in the original complaint. The Amended Complaint added Andersen as a
part to the instant matter.

4. However, due to a number of scheduling conflcts, including a number of recent
and serious ilnesses in the familes of Andersen's counsel, counsel for Andersen needs
additional time to respond on Andersen's behalf.
5. Andersen submits that under these circumstances, the requested enlargement of
time wil not delay the case, nor prejudice Plaintiffs.
6. Counsel for Andersen has conferred with Plaintiffs' counsel. Plaintiffs' counsel
has graciously agreed to the enlargement of
time, through and including June 15,2007 for
Andersen to respond to Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint.
With this Motion, undersigned counsel has provided the Cour with a proposed order
granting the requested enlargement of time.
WHEREFORE, Andersen respectfully requests that this Cour enter an Order granting
this First Agreed Motion for Enlargement of
Time to Respond to Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint
through and including June 15, 2007, and for such other and fuher relief as this Court deems
appropriate.
