In the Matter of: 

FEDERAL EXPRESS CORPORATION 

tJNITE D STATE S O F AMERIC A 

DEPARTMEN T O F TRANSPORTATTO N 

OFFIC E O F HEARING S 

ASHINGTON, D.CIn. the Matter of: 

EMPIRE AIRLINES. INC. 

Complainant by and through its undersi 

Respondent's Motion for Continuance, 

reasons: 

F/VA Docket No. CP10NM0006 

FAA case No. 2009NM7OO056 

DMS No. FAA-2010-0790 

FAA Docket No. CP10NM0007 

FAA case No. 2009NM700065 

DMS No. FAA-2010-0791 

Judge: Richard C. Good"^in 

Complainant's Opposition tn Respondent's Motion for Continuaace 

lined attorney and hereby files iia Opposition to 

Complainant opposes the Motion for the following 

1. Respondent's Counsel filed a Notice of Appearance on May 18, 2011 and has had more 

than enough time Lo prepare ihese cases for trial. Rather than filing a Motion for 

Continuance initially, Respondtnt's counsel filed a Motion to Consolidate instead. 

Respondent's Counsel filed a Njlotion for Continuance nearly two months after filing a 

Notice of Appearance. ComplaiAant has been preparing its witnesses and evidence for trial 

during this time frame. These cases have already been continued once by agreement of both 

parries because the original trial was set for Joinc of 2011. A second continuance would 

prejudice CompJainant and woulc not result in judicial efficiency. 

Tlie cases thai are the subject o:'Respondent's Motion for Continuance are separate and 

. distinct" cases. The facts of thaae cases are distinct and they have distinct witaesses. 

Respondent's Counsels basis for their Motion for Continuance is the pending 

Administrator's decision in the .•Empire Air case, FAA Docket CP09NM00093 DMS No. 

FAA-2009-0586 (2007 Empire Air), F,AA Case No. 2O07NT^700l5, In the 2007 Empire 

Air case, both parties appealed the Initial Decision. The interest of justice does not require a 

delay in e\'er>' case in which a Respondent would have similar defenses in regards to a 

separate action. Therefore Acre is|no legitimate reason to continue these cases. 

2. Tlie alleged violations in the case now before the Administrutive Law Judge, occurred in 

early 2008. Granting a continuance would prejudice Complainant's case in that, it would 

compromise our evidence and the memory of our wimesses. Respondent asks for a delay of 

Complabkonl's OpposiSan. to Rtirpond^ni't AfaHa

nine months or until a final decision in the 2007 Empire Air case on appeal is issued. There 

is no way to know exactly when that decision will be issued. The imcertaint>' of when a 

decision will be issued should be reason alone to deny Respondent's morion. 

3. There is no reason to grant the Motion for Continuance in regards to the alleged violations 

against Federal Express. This case can be tried at hearing without considering the issues 

relating to the liabiliT>' of feeder airlines that is addressed in Respondent's Motion for 

Continuance. 

4. For the reasons stated above, the Respondent's Motion for Curiiinuance should be denied in 

toto. If a continuance is granted, a continuance should only pertain to tlie Empire Aii and 

Corporate Air cases, for there is no basis to farther delay the Federal Express Cases. 

DATED this 8th day of July, 2011. 

Respectfully submitted,
