Civil Action No. 5:09-CV-231-C ECF

MOTION FOR ENLARGEMENT OF TIME Pursuant to Rule 6(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, plaintiff’s respectfully move this Court for an enlargement of time, up to and including November 30, 2009, in which to respond to Defendants’ allegation of qualified immunity as ordered by the court on October 26, 2009. Plaintiff has been diligently attempting to answer Defendant’s allegations but, due to the number of Defendant’s allegations regarding immunity, the plaintiff has been unable to complete the reply in the specified time. Consequently, this motion for enlargement of time is necessary in order for plaintiff’s counsel to finish plaintiff’s brief. Plaintiffs regret the need to seek this extension of time and anticipate that no further extension will be necessary. Plaintiffs did not inform defense counsel prior to submitting this motion as the motion was filed over the weekend. On Monday, November 16, 2009, Plaintiff will attempt to contact counsel for the Defendants and inquire regarding their position on the motion. If successful, Plaintiffs will file an amended motion.

Accordingly, for the foregoing reasons, Plaintiffs request a two (2) week extension of time to respond to Defendants’ allegations regarding qualified immunity.

Respectfully submitted, _/s/ Alexander Bryan Ching__________ ALEXANDER B. CHING, TEXAS BAR #00796350 Attorney for the Plaintiffs
