IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

DANIEL JOSHUA SIMS, 

 Plaintiff, 

 v. 

UNITED STATES, 

 Defendant. 

Case No. 2:07-cv-02082 MCE JFM 

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA’S 

AMENDED REQUEST FOR AN 

EXTENSION OF TIME FOR THE 

PARTIES TO FILE A JOINT 

STATUS REPORT 

[PROPOSED] ORDER 

Defendant United States of America hereby amends its Request For An Extension Of Time For 

The Parties To File A Joint Status Report filed on February 25, 2008 [Docket 7] (“Extension Request”). 

In support of this amended request, the United States represents as follows: 

1. On February 25, 2008, the United States filed the Extension Request. 

2. For all of the reasons set forth in the Extension Request, the United States asked that the 

Court enter an order extending the time for the parties to file a joint status report, and that the parties be 

given at least 30 days to do so. 

3. Since the filing of the Extension Request, the undersigned Assistant United States Attorney 

has determined that 30 days will not provide ample time to obtain a litigation report from the relevant 

federal agencies and to take other steps necessary to formulate the United States’ response to the 

plaintiff’s complaint and to prepare a joint status report for this case.

4. On February 27, 2008, the undersigned Assistant United States Attorney notified plaintiff’s 

counsel that the United States would need 60 days to respond to the complaint. During a telephone call 

on February 29, 2008 at approximately 3:00 p.m., plaintiff’s counsel agreed that the United States may 

file its response to the complaint in 60 days. Also during that call, counsel discussed that the United 

States should file an amended request regarding the timing for the joint status report. Counsel agreed that 

the United States would file an amended request asking that the Court extend the time for the parties’ joint 

status report by at least 60 days. 

5. Accordingly, the United States respectfully requests that the Court enter an order extending 

the time for the parties to file a joint status report, and that they be given at least 60 days from the date of 

this request to do so. 

 Respectfully submitted, 

Dated: February 29, 2008 McGREGOR W. SCOTT
