UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME 

Non-party Sigma Corporation ("Sigma") files this unopposed motion to extend the time 

permitted for Sigma to move to limit or quash (1) the Subpoena Duces Tecum that McWane, Inc. 

("McWane") served on Sigma on February 16, 2012, and (2) the Subpoenas Ad Testificandum that 

McWane served on Sigma on February 17,2012 (collectively, the "Subpoenas"). Specifically, 

Sigma requests that it have until March 30, 2012 to move to limit or quash the Subpoenas. Sigma 

and McWanehave conferred regarding the scope of the Subpoenas, and McWane does not oppose 

the extension of time for Sigma to file a Motion to Limit or Quash the Subpoenas through March 

30,2012, while the parties negotiate in good faith to limit the Subpoenas issued to Sigma and its 

employees. 

Mc Wane's Subpoena Duces Tecum was served on February 16, 2012 and its Subpoenas Ad 

Testificandum on February 17,2012. Under the applicable procedures of the Federal Trade 

Commission Rules of Practice, the time to file a Motion to Limit or Quash McWane's Subpoenas 

Duces Tecum and Ad Testificandum is February 29,2012 and March 1,2012 respectively. Sigma
