September 20, 2005, from the present due date of Friday, September 

23, 2005 to the next business day, Monday, September 26, 2005. 

 No prior briefing modification or extension has been requested 

in this action. 

Counsel for petitioner has conferred with counsel of record 

for respondents, Edward Olsen, Assistant United States Attorney, 

United States Attorney’s Office, by telephone on Friday, September 

23, 2003, when the necessity of this application became apparent. 

Mr. Olsen stated that he does not oppose the present application. 

The reason for this application is as follows: 

1. Counsel for petitioner is a sole practitioner without 

full time staff, is computer illiterate and relies on independent 

contractors to input documents and e-file them when necessary. The 

present action is subject to an e-filing order. 

2. Counsel has retained John David Tong, an independent 

contract computer operator in the present action for preparation 

and filing of documents. 

3. Mr. Tong is presently in Los Angeles, California, working 

on a project for another client. On or about the late morning of 

Friday, September 23, 2005, Mr. Tong advised counsel that the 

demands of his ongoing Los Angeles project would preclude the 

inputting and completion of the opposition in this matter by close 

of business. He has indicated that he will be available to do so 

on Monday, September 26, 2005, at which time he will be in his 

office in the San Francisco Bay Area in time for e-filing by 5:00

consider. 

Wherefore, it is respectfully requested that the modification 

and extension of time requested herein be granted.
