D.C.Colo.LCivR 7.1(A) Certification 1. Counsel for Chevron certifies that he contacted Plaintiff's counsel Thursday

morning, December 21, 2006, to discuss this motion. Plaintiff's counsel has not yet responded to counsel's inquiry, perhaps because of the blizzard which also closed this court on December 21, 2006.

Condemnation is due Friday, December 22, 2006. 3. Chevron respectfully requests an additional fifteen (15) days to answer or

otherwise respond to the Second Amended Complaint in Condemnation, up to and including Friday, January 5, 2007. 4. Chevron is still in the process of obtaining internal management approval to a

proposed disclaimer which it intends to submit to the Plaintiff late next week. 5. 6. This is Chevron's fifth request for an extension of time. The requested relief will neither unduly delay nor prejudice the parties hereto.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Chevron respectfully requests an additional fifteen (15) days to answer or otherwise respond to the Second Amended Complaint in Condemnation, up to and including Friday, January 5, 2007.
