DEFENDANTS' FIRST MOTION FOR ENLARGEMENT OF TIME TO FILE THEIR MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT Pursuant to Local Rule of Civil Procedure Rule 7(b), the defendants, James Cassidy, Ph.D., J.D., and Garrell Mullaney, C.E.O., move for an enlargement of time to file their motion for summary judgment.

To date the defendants have not received the plaintiffs responses to their discovery request, Defendants' First Set Of Interrogatories And Request For Production Of Documents To Plaintiffs which was mailed to them on August 13, 2003. In accordance with Local Rule of Civil Procedure Rule 37, counsel for the defendants is attempting to resolve this issue without judicial intervention. Counsel for the defendants has been diligently working on the motion for summary judgment. However, without the plaintiffs' responses to the defendants' discovery requests, the defendants are not able to meet the current deadline for summary judgment. Therefore, the defendants are requesting an additional sixty (60) days to enable the plaintiffs to respond to the defendants' discovery requests and for defendants' counsel to finalize the motion for summary judgment.
