Since the commencement of this action, Donald Winter has succeeded 1

Gordon England as Secretary of the Navy. Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. Proc.

25(d)(1), “[w]hen a public officer is a party to an action in his official

capacity and during its pendency . . . ceases to hold office, the action does 

not abate and the officer’s successor is automatically substituted as a

party.”

To date, the Navy’s motion to dismiss regarding this matter

is set to be heard in Courtroom 2 of this Court on Monday,

October 1, 2007. Pursuant to Local Rule 78-230(d), the Navy’s

present deadline by which to file its reply brief is therefore

Monday, September 24, 2007. The parties stipulate and agree to

continue the hearing on this matter from Monday, October 1 to

Monday, October 29, 2007. The parties further stipulate and

agree to extend the Navy’s deadline by which to file a reply

brief from Monday, September 24, 2007 to Monday, October 15,

2007. 

The parties base this stipulation on good cause, including

the following reasons: First, counsel for the Navy finished a

court trial in Courtroom 4 on Tuesday, September 18, 2007. Until

today, he has he been unable to meaningfully begin reviewing

plaintiff’s opposition papers, which are extensive, detailed, and

require future communications with one or more representatives

from the Navy. In addition, counsel for the Navy faces deadlines

in other matters between now and September 24, 2007 that he has

been unable to address since exclusively focusing on the above

trial. Further, counsel for plaintiff faces a serious personal

matter which will require her undivided attention in the coming

days.
