McGuire Chief Administrative Law Judge COMPLAINT COUNSEL'S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO F'ILE RESPONSES TO INTERROGATORIES Complaint Counsel moves to extend the time to respond to Respondents' First Set of Interrogatories fiom August 24,2004, to August 27,2004, and in support thereof state as follows: 1. On July 23,2004, Respondent Basic Research served its First Set of Interrogatories. The responses are currently due on August 24,2004. 2. Pursuant to Rule of Practice 3.35, the Administrative Law Judge may allow a shorter or longer time to respond to Interrogatories. Similarly, under Rule of Practice 4.3, the A h s t r a t i v e Law Judge may extend any time limit prescribed or allowed by the Rules. 3. On August 23,2004, Complaint Counsel, Laureen Kapin, discussed the relief sought in this Request with counsel for Respondents, Mr. Gregory L. Hillyer. Respondents had no objection to the requested extension. 4. Good cause exists to justify this brief extension because Complaint Counsel's time to prepare its responses to Basic Research's interrogatories fell within the same time period in which Complaint Counsel was responding to Respondents' motion to quash, motion for interlocutory appeal, and request for documents. During this same time period, Complaint Counsel was also negotiating the protective order and scheduling order, and preparing for the initial hearing in this matter. 4. A proposed order is attached hereto for the Court's convenience. Respectfully submitted by: 1 Laureen Kapin (%2) 326-3237 Joshua S. Millard (202) 326-2454 Robin M.
