DEFENDANT'S RESPONSE TO NOTICE AND MOTION FILED BY PLAINTIFF (Assigned to the Hon. Susan R. Bolton) (Oral Argument Requested)

Defendant ProGuard Security ("Defendant") responds partly in support and partly in opposition to the July 25, 2005, "Notice to Court" filed by Plaintiff Linda Hinton ("Plaintiff") on the subjects of the requests by the Plaintiff to extend the time for discovery and the request by Defendant to extend the time for filing Motions for Summary Judgment. Plaintiff, despite being represented by competent counsel at the time the discovery deadline passed has asked the Court to extend the time for her to conduct additional discovery. Based on Plaintiff's request, Defendant previously asked the Court to extend the time to file Motions for Summary Judgment to a reasonable time after Plaintiff completes any period for additional discovery granted by the Court. Defendant objects to the granting of Plaintiff's request on the grounds of fairness since an extension of discovery allows Plaintiff the opportunity to identify new witnesses and information requiring further depositions and evaluation of evidence by
