DEFENDANT DRBA’S RESPONSE TO PLAIN TIFF’S
MOTION TO EXTEND THE TIME TO ORDER THE TRANSCRIPT
Defendant, Delaware River and Bay Authority ("DRBA") does not oppose plaintiff s motion
to extend the time for ordering transcripts, and requests that the extension be applicable to it as well.
1. DRBA intends to file post-trial motions as well, and does not intend to order the
entire trial transcript unless the Court feels it is necessary in order to decide the motions.
2. DRBA does not believe it is appropriate to speculate on the outcome of any post- trial
motions.

3. DRBA agrees that neither party should be required to order the entire trial transcript
unless and until it becomes necessary.
4. DRBA has no objection to plaintiffs request, although it does not believe that either
party is required to order transcripts in order to file post-trial motions. To the extent that the Court
disagrees, DRBA respectfully requests that all parties be excused from ordering the entire transcript
unless or until it is deemed necessary.
