 requests. In support of this approval request, the parties rely upon the memorandum of points

and authorities set forth below. 

MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(b)(1) provides: “When by these rules or by a notice

given thereunder or by order of court an act is required or allowed to be done at or within a

specified time, the court for cause shown may at any time in its discretion (1) with or without

motion or notice order the period enlarged if request therefore is made before the expiration of

the period originally prescribed or as extended by a previous order . . ..” Additionally, the

Court’s Local Rule 6-144 permits extension of deadlines, subject to Court approval, based upon

stipulation between the parties. In this case, the parties’ request for additional time is warranted

for the reasons set forth below. 

Defendant was served with Plaintiff’s first request for production of documents on

February 12, 2007. Upon receipt of Plaintiff’s discovery requests, undersigned counsel

immediately forwarded a copy to agency counsel to commence gathering documents responsive

to Plaintiff’s request. Agency counsel, however, contacted undersigned counsel and indicated

that additional time would be needed to gather the necessary documents and respond to

Plaintiff’s request. At the present time, the agency is continuing to gather documents to respond

to Plaintiff’s request. However, Defendant will not be able to meet the current deadline for

responding to Plaintiff’s requests for production of documents. Undersigned counsel for 1

Plaintiff and Defendant have discussed this request and related matters and are in agreement that

an extension of time, to and until April 16, 2007, will provide sufficient time for Defendant to

respond to Plaintiff’s requests.
