Case 1:13-cv-00825-ABJ Document 12 Filed 07/29/13 Page 1 of 2

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA GILBERTE JILL KELLEY et al., Plaintiffs, v. THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION et al., Defendants. Civil Action No. 13-cv-825 (ABJ)

DEFENDANTS UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO ANSWER OR OTHERWISE RESPOND TO THE COMPLAINT Defendants respectfully move for an extension of thirty days, until September 4, 2013, to answer or otherwise respond to the complaint (ECF No. 1). Pursuant to Local Rule 7(m), the undersigned counsel has conferred with counsel for plaintiffs, who represents that he does not oppose this motion. In support of this motion, defendants respectfully submit that there exists good cause for it to be granted as follows: Defendants seek the additional time requested herein due to the detail and length of the complaint (65 pages) and the breadth of the claims brought by plaintiffs, who allege violations of their privacy rights resulting from alleged improper disclosures of confidential, personal information. Responding to plaintiffs allegations and claims requires that undersigned counsel confer with multiple agencies and several government officials. Although these efforts are being undertaken diligently and expeditiously, additional time is needed to conclude this process. This requested extension is further motivated by the fact that certain employees of one of the defendants, the Department of Defense, are currently furloughed one day a week.
