MOTION FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE ANSWER TO COMPLAINT 

1. Respondent City of Corpus Christi ("Respondent") moves, pursuant to 14C.F.R.§ 16.11, 

for an extension of time to file its Answer to the Complaint filed by Complainant Mercury Air 

Center - Corpus Christi, d/b/a Atlantic Aviation ("Complainant") in the above-captioned matter. 

2. On October 15, 2010, Complainant filed a Part 16 Complaint. On Novranber 5, 2010, the 

Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") Office of the Chief Counsel docketed the Complaint, 

and served the Notice of Docketing on Respondent via U.S. Mail. In accordance with 14 C.F.R. 

§ 16.23(d), Respondent's Answer to the Complaint is due on Monday, November 29,2010.

Complaint, tneaning Respondent's Answer would be due on Thursday, January 13, 2011. 

4. An extension of time to file Respondent's Answer is needed because of the number and 

complexity of claims and issues raised in the Complaint, and the reduced number of business 

days during the 20-day reply period resulting from the Thanksgiving holiday. An extension of 

only 30 days would fall within the Christmas/New Year's holidays. 
5. An extension of time is necessary and appropriate for a fair and complete hearing of 

matters before the FAA. 

6. Respondent's undersigned counsel has communicated with Leonard ICirsch, counsel for 

Complainant, and Mr. Kirsch has consented to the 45-day extension for the filing of 

Respondent's Answer. In turn. Respondent has consented to Complainant's request for 20 days 

to submit its Reply to the Respondent's Answer.
