IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

WASHINGTON

RYDER, CHRIS

v. : July 17, 2010

HAGEN, KATRINA, M.

Defendant

Motion for Extension of Time to Reply to Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss

Facts: Plaintiff filed the above captioned action against the defendant in this Court.

The defendant entered an appearance with local counsel from the State of Washington.

The Court granted a Motion to Leave and the attendant application for an appearance by

counsel Pro Hac Vice. The Motion and application were granted by the office of the Chief

Clerk of the Court.

The defendant has presented the plaintiff with an elaborately prepared Motion to

Dismiss, along with a memorandum. Plaintiff requires an additional three weeks to

sufficiently respond to the defendant’s Motion. It is also the Plaintiff’s intention to implede

Harvard University into this case through a Motion for Joinder. Harvard University has

already entered an appearance for the defendant through the office of its General Counsel.

Secondly, the Plaintiff is trying to complete a brief for the Supreme Court which is

due in early September and this matter predates the filing of the instant case by a long
measure. Third, Harvard University has inexplicably ‘cut off’1 the plaintiff from using the

Lexis data base that the plaintiff would ordinarily be entitled to utilize, thus blunting his

ability to conduct adequate research to rebuff the claims and legal posture presented in the

defendant’s Motion to Dismiss.

Plaintiff hereby requests an extension of 21 days to reply. A copy of the proposed

order is attached.

Respectfully submitted,
s/ Chris Ryder
