Assistant U.S. Attorney

DECLARATION

YOSHINORI H. T. HIMEL, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1746(2), declares as follows:

1. I am an Assistant United States Attorney assigned to represent the Secretary of the

Navy in the captioned case.

2. The extension requested in this ex parte application is for the Secretary's reply to

plaintiff's 73-page opposition argument, CR 73; to her 17-exhibit "Response and Opposition,"

CR 72, including exhibit 119, a 24-page declaration; to her 32-page response to undisputed

facts, CR 74; and to the corrections she filed May 9, 2007, CR 77.

3. The extension sought is from the May 22 date set in the Scheduling Order until June

14, 2007. It does not affect the hearing date. No previous extension of this time has been

sought or granted.

4. To make proper reply, I need more time for communication with witnesses and with

the agency, and for editing to assure myself of adequate coverage with conciseness. I believe

that the requested extension will allow me to do this.

5. On May 11, 2007, I telephoned for plaintiff and left a voice message requesting this

extension. On May 12, 2007, plaintiff left me a voice mail saying she consents to the

extension so long as it does not affect the hearing date. On May 14, 2007, I received a faxed

consent. An accurate copy of the written consent is attached.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on

May 22, 2007.
