ORDER OF CIDEF ADMINISTRATIVE LAW,.fUDGE 

GRANTING CONSENT MOTION TO EXTEND DEADLINES 

At a Preheating Conference ("PHC") on October 26,2016, the parties were ordered to 

submit documents. 1 On December 1, 2016, ( 1) Complainant Assistant Chief Counsel for 

Enforcement, Federal Aviation Administration ("Complainant"), filed and served a Notice of 

Settlement, stating that "the parties in this matter have agreed to settle the matter," which "does 

not need to be scheduled for a hearing";2 and (2) Respondent Trans Time Express 

("Respondent") served but did not file3 a Consent Motion to Extend Deadlines ("Motion"), 

requesting "an order in accordance with the agreement [with Complainant], extending all 

deadlines ... for thirty days. "4 The Motion states that the "parties have settled the case," and 

Complainant is drafting an agreement for submission to the Judge before December 25,2016.5 

Good cause having been shown, the extension is granted.6 Because a 30-day extension 

allows insufficient time for the parties to timely file the documents required if settlement is not 

1 Complainant, but not Respondent, responded by the first deadline ofNovember 9, 2016; and neither party 

moved to correct the PHC transcript by the deadline of November 28, 2016. 2 Letter, Complainant's Counsel to Hon. Ronnie A Yoder, at 1 (Dec. 1, 2016) ("Settlement Notice"). Though
