request for an extension of time. Counsel for the Defendant needs additional time 

because he held a conference call concerning Plaintiff’s letter brief rather than

serve a response letter on Plaintiff’s counsel due April 27, 2017 and failed to file a 

proof of service as required by the Court’s Scheduling Order. Counsel for 

Defendant erred in calendaring the process to be followed in addressing the issues 

raised by Plaintiff’s counsel in his letter brief, and sincerely apologizes for any 

inconvenience caused to the Court or to Plaintiff’s counsel by this delay.
