this Court's orders dated August 31 and September 18,2006, defendants' response to the

complaint is currently due on October 18,2006. Defendants have prepared a motion to dismiss

several of the causes of action based on lack of jurisdiction, and such motion is ready for filing.

They are in the process of preparing a motion to dismiss the remainder of the complaint based on

failure to state a claim, but that motion wil not be completed by October 18, 2006 because of the

nature of the issues involved. Accordingly, to preclude the need to have two separate motions

and two separate hearings, the parties jointly request that the Court extend defendants' time to

respond to the complaint thirty days, to November 17,2006. Such timeline is consistent with

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(a)(3), which allows federal defendants 60 days to respond to
