UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT ------------------------------------------------------x : UNITED STATES OF AMERICA : : v. : : TROY COLEMAN : : ------------------------------------------------------x

Case No. 3:03CR00092(JCH)

July 9, 2008

MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME The defendant, Troy Coleman, hereby requests an extension of time, nunc pro tunc, within which to respond to the Court's Order To Show Cause. [Doc. 173] Undersigned counsel has recently determined that prior CJA counsel will not be assisting Mr. Coleman in this matter, and has therefore obtained permission from Mr. Coleman to review his file and appear on his behalf. Counsel requires additional time to obtain the relevant documents in this case, to review the file, and file an appropriate response, if warranted, to the Court's order. In addition, counsel will be out of the District for two weeks in July on business-related travel. Accordingly, the defendant seeks an extension to and including August 27, 2008, to respond to the Court's Order To Show Cause. This is the defendant's first motion for an extension of this deadline. Counsel notes that in light of Mr. Coleman's current projected release date of October 2020, it is extremely unlikely that any reduction in his sentence would result in release in 2008 or 2009; thus, this extension of time will not prejudice Mr. Coleman.
