EX PARTE APPLICATION FOR ORDER

EXTENDING DEADLINE BY WHICH TO

FILE RULE 12(B) MOTION; ORDER

Pursuant to Local Rule 6-144(c), defendants Paul M. Schultz, C.

Gant, Mr. Armendariz and S. Knoll (“defendants”) request by way of

this ex parte application for the court to issue an order extending

their deadline by which to file any necessary Rule 12(b) motions in

this case four weeks, from Friday, December 14, 2007 to Friday,

January 11, 2007.

Defendants base their request on the following:

1. Plaintiff Robert K. Adams filed suit in this case against

defendants for conduct he alleges to have occurred within the scope

of their federal employment within the Bureau of Prisons. On October

26, 2007, the Court issued its Discovery Order/Scheduling Order

EX PARTE APPLICATION FOR ORDER EXTENDING DEADLINE BY WHICH TO FILE RULE 12(B) MOTION2

regarding this case. (Doc. 23). It provides that any unenumerated

Rule 12(b) motions must be filed by December 14, 2007.

2. By the time defendants’ undersigned litigation counsel

received the above order, he already faced the followed deadlines

calendared in other cases: (1) a motion to dismiss/motion to stay

discovery in another prisoner case by December 7, 2007, (2) a reply

to a motion to dismiss due in yet another prisoner case on December

12, 2007 and (3) a summary judgment in a FOIA case on December 12,

2007. (Enos Decl., para. 3). In addition, since he received the

above order, he also learned or his need to file a reply brief in a

tort case (before this court) on December 14, 2007. (Ibid.) He is

also in the midst of scheduling several depositions in an employment

case the first part of January 2008. (Ibid.)

3. Based on the above, it will be exceedingly difficult for

defendants to properly prepare and file any Rule 12(b) motion in this

action by December 14. 2007. Accordingly, defendants respectfully

request an additional four weeks, or until January 11, 2007, by which

to timely file their Rule 12(b) motion in this case. 

4. Plaintiff, acting pro se, is presently incarcerated. (Enos

Decl, para. 5). Accordingly, defendants are unable to obtain a

timely stipulation with plaintiff regarding this scheduling issue. 

5. In light of the foregoing, defendants respectfully request

that the Court provide them with an additional four weeks, or through

January 11, 2008, by which to prepare and file any necessary Rule
