DEFENDANTS' UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
(Second Request)
Defendants, by and through their attorneys, request a five week (35 day) extension of time to file an answer or other appropriate responsive pleading to Plaintiff's complaint.
This is the second request for an extension of time to answer the complaint. The parties have worked diligently to resolve the cause of action without further litigation. The case involves the adjudication of a visa application by the U.S. Consulate in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. Officials with the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services continue to gather and share information and take administrative action on the issues addressed in the cause of action.
Plaintiff's counsel, Mr. Anthony D. Guenther, does not oppose the five week extension of time.
The current deadline to answer the complaint is November 13, 2012, based on the court's order granting the first unopposed motion to extend the deadline. (ECF No. 6, Sept. 14, 2012). Defendants respectfully request that the court grant an additional five week extension of time to file an appropriate pleading to answer the complaint up to and including Tuesday, December 18, 2012.
Respectfully submitted, Daniel G. Bogden
