D E C L A R A T I O N

I, CAROLYN K. DELANEY, declare as follows: 

1. I am an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District 

of California and am familiar with the facts described below. 

2. The sole person responsible for handling civil immigration

matters in the Eastern District of California is Assistant U.S.

Attorney Audrey B. Hemesath. Thus, this case is assigned to Ms.

Hemesath. 

3. On December 14, 2006, Ms. Hemesath had to take a sudden

medical leave of absence due to pregnancy-related hyperemesis

(severe vomiting). Ms. Hemesath anticipates that her condition will

preclude her from returning to work for at least an additional four

to six weeks.

4. Ms. Hemesath is the only person in this office with the

unique expertise to handle the present matter.

5. The defendant’s answer is due on January 2, 2007. 

6. The defendant has not previously requested any 

extensions of time in which to file its answer. 

7. The defendant is not in custody. 

8. Based upon Ms. Hemesath's urgent medical condition I am

requesting an extension of the time for filing the government's

answer. Accordingly, defendant respectfully requests an extension,

until March 2, 2007, in which to file the answer.

9. On December 26, 2006, I corresponded by email with Peter

Singh, the attorney for the plaintiff, and informed him that I 

would be applying for this extension of time. He indicated that 

he had no objection to my request.
