ORDER

The Court is in receipt of two Motions for Enlargement of Time, both filed by the Plaintiff on July 5, 1995 in the above-captioned case. For the benefit of the Plaintiff and all parties to the case, the Court will review the procedural posture of the pleadings extant. The Plaintiff filed a Motion for Preliminary Injunction on May 30, 1995. After a hearing held on May 30, 1995, the Court granted Corporation Counsel's Motion to Extend Time to or, in the alternative, for Summary Judgment on June 21, 1995. [1] By Order entered June 26, 1995, the Court granted the Plaintiff until July 5, 1995 to file an Opposition to both Motions.

Thus, the Court construes the Plaintiff's instant Motions as

[1 The Court observes that the Motions filed by both the federal Defendants and corporation Counsel also serve as Oppositions to the Plaintiffs' Motion for Preliminary Injunction.]

a request to extend the time for filing an Opposition to the Defendants' Motions to Dismiss or, in the alternative, for Summary Judgment. The Court shall grant this request, and shall give the Plaintiff until 4:00 p.m. on July 11, 1995 in chich to file said Opposition. The Court assumes that this is ample time for the Plaintiff (indeed, it is more than that requested in the instant Motions), and anticipates that the Plaintiff will be seeking no further extensions of time for filing an Opposition to the Defendants' dispositive Motions.

Accordingly, it is, by the Court, this 7th day of July, 1995,

ORDERED that the Plaintiff's two Motions for Enlargement of Time, both filed July 5, 1995, shall be, and hereby are, GRANTED, as hereinafter provided; and it is

FURTHER ORDERED that the Plaintiff may have until 4:00 p.m. on July 12, 1995 in which to file an Oppostion to the federal Defendants' Motion to Dismiss or, in the alternative, for Summary Judgment and Corporation Counsel's Motion to Dismiss or, in the slternative, for Summary Judgment; and it is

FURTHER ORDERED that the Defendants may have until 4:00 p.m. on July 17, 1995 in which to file Replies thereto.
