CIVIL ACTION No. 10-1663(F)(2) SECTION F

v. JUDGE FELDMAN KENNETH LEE "KEN" SALAZAR, et al, Defendants. MAGISTRATE 2 MAGISTRATE WILKINSON

CONSENT MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND TO PLAINTIFFS' MOTION TO SET ATTORNEY'S FEES AND COSTS NOW INTO COURT, through undersigned counsel, come Defendants, Kenneth Lee Salazar, United States Department of the Interior, Michael R. Bromwich, and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement, ("Defendants"), and respectfully move this Court for an extension, by four days, of Defendants' deadline to file a response to Plaintiffs' motion to set attorney's fees and costs. Defendants' deadline to file a response to Plaintiff's motion is March 4, 2011. Defendants respectfully request an extension of four days, until March 9, 2011, in which to file their response. The additional time is necessary because Plaintiffs' billing records in support of their motion to set attorney's fees and costs, which were filed under seal with the Court, were supposed to be delivered to Defendants via Federal Express Saturday delivery. Federal Express did

not deliver the package on Saturday, February 19. Defendants received the package the afternoon of Monday, February 21. Defendants conferred with the Plaintiffs prior to filing this motion, and Plaintiffs have indicated that they will not oppose the motion. Good cause exists for granting the requested four-day extension. WHEREFORE, Defendants respectfully request that the Court grant Defendants' motion for a four-day extension of time in which to file a response to Plaintiffs' motion to set attorney's fees and costs.
