CIVIL ACTION NO.:
1:11-CV-3054 (MEA JTG)
GAWKER DEFENDANT’S OPPOSITION TO PLAINTIFF’S REQUEST FOR
ADDITIONAL TIME AND PAGES
1. On October 12, 2011, after a conference with the Court, the Court gave Mr. Huon
until November 30, 2011 to respond to both the Above the Law Defendants’ and
the Gawker Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss. Defense counsel relied on this
schedule.
2. After the close of business on November 30, 2011, Plaintiff filed a motion for
additional pages and more time to respond to the Gawker Defendant’s motion to
dismiss.
3. Plaintiff offers no specific reason, explanation, or good cause to support his latebreaking desire to have additional time to respond to the instant defendants.
Rather, all of the substantive paragraphs of his motion (Paragraphs 3-10)
complain about co-defendant abovethelaw.com’s actions.
4. As Plaintiff well knows, his request requires Defendants to respond during the
week of Christmas and the week between Christmas and New Year’s.
5. Plaintiff is thus far on his second amended complaint and has filed over half a
dozen motions. This is the second time he has moved for an extension of time.
6. The Gawker Defendants merely seek a predictable schedule and an expeditious
resolution to Plaintiff’s $100,000,000.00 (one hundred million dollar) suit, and as
such must oppose Plaintiff’s eleventh hour request.
WHEREFORE the defendants pray that the court deny plaintiff’s motion for more time
and additional pages and grant other such relief as the court should deem appropriate.
