UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA

SECOND CHANCE ACADEMY, INC., ET AL CIVIL ACTION VERSUS NUMBER 09-280-FJP-SCR ENTERGY (GULF STATES) LOUISIANA, ET AL

RULING The Court will treat plaintiffs' motion for extension of time1 as a motion for a new trial. It is clear this motion was not

timely filed and, therefore, the motion for a new trial is denied. The Court will also treat the motion as a Rule 60(b), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, motion and also finds the plaintiffs have failed to present evidence to support a Rule 60(b) motion. Finally, there is no reason to grant any extension in this case. The Court issued its opinion on July 21, 2009. The parties

have been given more than sufficient time to comply with the Court's order. Also, Brendia Ford continues to disobey this

Court's orders which have advised her that she cannot represent other parties since she is not an attorney. Also, a review of this

motion reveals that this case is frivolous, and the Court questions its subject matter jurisdiction.
