SECOND EX PARTE REQUEST TO

EXTEND DEFENDANTS’ TIME TO

RESPOND TO AMENDED

COMPLAINT; [PROPOSED] ORDER

THEREON 

The United States of America requests an extension of time for Defendants to respond to

the Amended Complaint, filed March 26, 2004, based on the following:

1. Defendants executed waivers of service in this case in November and December

of 2005. The Defendants are employees of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and Plaintiff has sued

them in both their official and individual capacities. As a result, Defendants are represented by

the United States Attorney’s Office.

2. The United States Attorney’s Office is in the process of finalizing a Motion to

Dismiss and/or for Summary Judgment in the case and believes that Plaintiff’s claims will be, at

least in part, mooted due to a rule change. However, finalizing the motion and obtaining

executed declarations from all of the defendants, including retired defendants, is problematic. 

Counsel believes she can obtain all of the necessary evidence within the next fourteen days and

file the appropriate Motion within that time.
