Third-Party Plaintiff AAI Corporation (“AAI”) to shorten time for consideration of its motion to

strike certain of the claims and defenses of Plaintiffs and Counterclaim Defendants National

Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and American Home Assurance

Company, and Third-Party Defendant, American International Group, Inc. (collectively “AIG”).
