STIPULATION EXTENDING TIME TO

ANSWER OR OTHERWISE RESPOND

TO PLAINTIFF’S FIRST AMENDED

COMPLAINT;[PROPOSED] ORDER

Subject to the Court’s approval, the parties, through their undersigned counsel, hereby

agree and stipulate that defendants’ time to answer or otherwise move with respect to plaintiff’s

First Amended Complaint is extended from November 13, 2007 to November 30, 2007. The

extension of time is needed because of the highly detailed allegations in the First Amended

Complaint, a 387-page pleading with accompanying exhibits A through RRR. It is not readily

apparent how the First Amended Complaint differs from plaintiff’s original Complaint, and, as a

result, defendants will require additional time to review the new pleading line-by-line to prepare

a comprehensive response. The First Amended Complaint also includes an additional 30

exhibits pertaining to plaintiff’s numerous FOIA requests which were not part of plaintiff’s

original Complaint. Defendants will require additional time to verify the authenticity of each

new exhibit in order to properly respond to the claims presented in the First Amended

Complaint. Finally, defendants are continuing to process some of the FOIA requests included in

the First Amended Complaint, and the status of these requests can change daily. Defendants will

use this additional time to ascertain the current status of each of plaintiff’s pending FOIA

requests and prepare an appropriate response. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
