EX PARTE APPLICATION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND TO PLAINTIFF’S COMPLAINT

DECLARATION OF KENNETH C. MENNEMEIER

I, Kenneth C. Mennemeier, declare:

1. I am an attorney licensed to practice in the State of California and a partner

in the law firm Mennemeier, Glassman & Stroud LLP, counsel for Defendants Clinton C. Myers,

both individually and as the Trustee of the Clinton Charles Myers Revocable Trust dated

03/07/89, Myers Homes of California, LLC, and Myers Homes, Inc. (“Defendants”) in this

matter.

2. Defendants’ response to the Complaint is presently due January 14, 2008. 

3. Defendants have not previously asked the Court to extend time for their

response to the Complaint. 

4. On Defendants’ behalf, pursuant to Local Rule 6-144(c), I hereby request a

30-day extension of time to file Defendants’ response to the Complaint. My client approves this

request. 

5. This request for an extension is made for the following reasons:

a. This is a complex matter involving complex questions of commercial law;

b. The amount in controversy is substantial, as Plaintiff prays for judgment in excess

of $61,000,000 (sixty-one million dollars) (see Complaint, at page 18, lines 5-6);

c. I first met with Defendants and was asked by them to appear on their behalf in this

action on Thursday, December 27, 2007;

d. The intervening New Year’s Day holiday has limited my and my clients’

opportunity to confer to discuss background facts and plaintiff’s allegations and to

identify any affirmative defenses and/or counterclaims;

e. My client has no objection to the issuance of an extension of time; and

f. I am not aware of any prejudice that Plaintiff would suffer if an extension were

granted.

EX PARTE APPLICATION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND TO PLAINTIFF’S COMPLAINT

6. I contacted Plaintiff’s counsel (Mark Cameron) on Friday, December 28,

2007, and requested an extension by leaving him a voice-mail. He responded on Monday,

December 31, 2007, by voice-mail and e-mail, indicating that Plaintiff would not agree to the

requested extension. 

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct and that

this declaration was executed on January 4, 2008, in Sacramento, California.
