IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF FEDERAL CLAIMS WYOMING SAWMILLS, INC. Plaintiff, v. THE UNITED STATES, Defendant. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) )

No. 07-861C (Judge Braden)

DEFENDANT'S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR AN ENLARGEMENT OF TIME Defendant respectfully requests an enlargement of time of 30 days, to and including June 26, 2008, within which to file the joint preliminary status report. The joint preliminary status report is now due to be filed on May 27, 2008. This is defendant's first request for an enlargement of time for this purpose. Defendant has contacted counsel for plaintiff, who has indicated that plaintiff consents to this request. The enlargement is requested because of Government's counsel's workload. Government counsel is assigned to several matters that have required considerable attention over the last several weeks, including briefing to the Federal Circuit this past week in Yantai Timken Co., Ltd. v. United States, No. 2008-1142, and Mittal Steel Point Lisas Limited v. United States, No. 2008-1040, 1054, as well as several cases in this Court, such as Hines v. United States, No. 07623, and GASA, Inc. v. United States, No. 01-642. These matters have made it difficult for Government counsel to devote significant time to this case. For these reasons, defendant respectfully requests that the Court grant its unopposed motion for a 30-day enlargement of time, to and including June 26, 2008, within which to file the joint preliminary status report.
