CIVIL NO. 1:07-cv-00726-SMS

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO 

EXTEND TIME

The parties, through their respective counsel, stipulate that the time for responding to Plaintiff’s

confidential letter be extended from December 20, 2007 to February 26, 2008. 

This is Defendant's first request for an extension of time to respond to Plaintiff's confidential

letter. Defendant seeks this extension because I, the undersigned Special Assistant United States

Attorney, did not receive Plaintiff’s Confidential Letter until today, January 25, 2008. Today, I spoke to

Plaintiff’s attorney, Laura Lackey-Krank, who stated that she sent the letter to general mailbox at our

office. However, I never received the Confidential Letter. This case was previously assigned to another

agency attorney, Jacqueline Forslund, who also has no record of the Confidential Letter. Although I do

not question Ms. Lackey- Krank’s assertion that she sent the Confidential Letter, I simply have no record

of it. Thus, today, I requested the Confidential Letter from Ms. Lackey-Krank, and she promptly emailed it. 

Given these circumstances, the undersigned Special Assistant United States Attorney requires

additional time (30 days) to review the Confidential Letter, received today by e-mail, to review the file

and prepare a response in this matter.

Respectfully submitted,

Dated: January 25, 2008 /s/ Laura Lackey-Krank
