EX PARTE REQUEST TO EXTEND

DEFENDANTS’ TIME BY WHICH TO

RESPOND TO AMENDED COMPLAINT;

[PROPOSED] ORDER

[Local Rule 6-144(c)]

The United States of America requests an extension of time

by which defendants Federal Bureau of Investigation, Drug

Enforcement Administration, United States Marshals Service and

Department of Justice (“defendants”) must respond to plaintiff’s

Amended Complaint, filed on August 12, 2005. Defendants base

their request on Eastern District Local Rule 6-144(c), as well as

the following reasons:

1. Defendants are each federal agencies, and plaintiff

sues them on allegations rooted in the Freedom of Information

Act. Accordingly, defendants will likely be represented by the

United States Attorney’s Office.

2. To date, plaintiff has not completed service with

respect to two of the four defendants. In addition, the

undersigned has thus far had difficulty contacting the agent(s)

of one of the served defendants with knowledge of this action.

3. Good cause exists in support of this request. The

properly served defendants cannot obtain a stipulation for this

extension, in that plaintiff has recently advised them and the

court through a prior filing that he is in the midst of

transferring locations as an inmate within the United States

Bureau of Prisons. 

4. Based on the above, and to enable the United States

Attorney’s Office to respond to the Amended Complaint on behalf

of all defendants at one time, defendants respectfully request

that the Court extend defendants’ time to respond until: (1) 30

days after plaintiff has notified the United States Attorney’s

Office that the last defendant in this action has been properly

served, or (2) 60 days from the date of this filing (or, until

December 19, 2005), whichever is later. 

Respectfully submitted,

Dated: October 19, 2005 McGREGOR W. SCOTT
