The JPSR currently is due on June 23, 2008. This is the first request for an enlargement of time. Counsel for the parties have discussed this motion and its request for relief, and plaintiffs' counsel has represented that plaintiffs do not oppose this request. The requested enlargement is necessary because the parties have conducted the early meeting of counsel pursuant to RCFC Appendix A, but the parties are in the process of preparing the JPSR. The parties anticipate that the JPSR will be completed by no later than June 30, 2008.
