OPPOSITION OF DEFENDANT, DELAWARE RIVER AND BAY AUTHORITY,
TO PLAINTIF F ’S CONDITIONAL MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL
Plaintiff has filed a conditional motion for a new trial in the event that the District Court
grants post—trial relief to the Delaware River and Bay Authority ("DRBA"). Although the DRBA
opposes this conditional motion, the issues raised therein would not appear to be ripe at this time
and, therefore, the DRBA will not file a detailed responsive brief at this time, unless, of course,
requested or required by this Court.
DRBA reserves the right to file a detailed brief should this matter become ripe and/or if
requested to do so by the Court.

WHEREFORE, Defendant, Delaware River and Bay Authority, respectfully requests that
plaintiff s conditional motion for a new trial be denied.
