CASE NO: 88-1886-CIV-HOEVELER
 

 

MICCOSUKEE TRIBE'S MOTION 
FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND TO FARMER-INTERVENORS' MOTION TO
 STRIKE AND MEMORANDUM IN
OPPOSITION TO TRIBE'S
SUPPLEMENTAL EMERGENCY
MOTION TO ENFORCE

 

            The undersigned attorney, as counsel for the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida (the Tribe"), requests an eleven-day extension of time through July 9, 1996 in which to file its response to Defendant-Intervenors', Western Palm Beach County Farm Bureau, Inc., Roth Farms, Inc. and K.W.B. Farms' ("collectively farmer-intervenors") Motion to Strike and Memorandum in Opposition to Tribe's Supplemental Emergency Motion to Enforce and states as grounds as follows:

                    2. The press of business and the fact that the farmer-intervenors' Motion to Strike and Memorandum in Opposition to Tribe's Supplemental Emergency Motion to Enforce addresses issues outside the scope of the Tribe's Supplemental Emergency Motion to Enforce and this litigation necessitate an eleven-day extension of time to respond to the farmer intervenors' Motion to Strike and Memorandum in Opposition to Tribe's Supplemental Emegency Motion to Enforce.


                3. Undersigned counsel telephoned counsel for the farmer-intervenors, William Green, Esq., on June 21, 1996, who did not object to the Tribe's request for additional time to file its response.

                For the foregoing reasons, the Tribe respectfully requests that this Court grant this motion for extension of time and grant the Tribe an extension of time through July 9, 1996 in which to file its response to the farmer-intervenors' Motion to Strike and Memorandum in Opposition to Tribe's Supplemental Emergency Motion to Enforce. A proposed order granting the present motion is attached hereto as Exhibit "A".

Respectfully submitted,
