RESPONDENT’S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
Respondent,

Jeremy A. Gibson and Mitchell S. Chaban of Masuda, Funai, Eifert & Mitchell, Ltd.,
pursuant to Section 101.522, and for its Motion for Extension ofTime, states as follows:
1.
Respondent was served with the Complaint in this matter on November
5,
2003. The Complaint asserts nine counts against Respondent for alleged violations of
various Illinois environmental laws.
2.
Respondent is presently investigating Complainant’s allegations and
analyzing the applicable law. Respondent anticipates filing a motion pursuant to Section
101.506 attacking the sufficiency ofthe Complaint with respect to most or all ofthe nine
counts alleged, including for purposes of “frivolous” complaints. Pursuant to Section
101.506,
Respondent would have to file said motion by or before December
5,
2003.
3.
Due to the following reasons, among others, Respondent will need
additional time beyond the 30 days provided for under Section 101.506 to prepare and
file the motion to dismiss:
(a)
The number of claims asserted in the Complaint;
(b)
The legal complexity of the solid waste, hazardous waste, air
emission and wastewater discharge statutes and regulations cited in the Complaint;
(c)
Counsel for Respondent is in the process of moving its offices
during the month of November 2003 and will not have adequate time to prepare the
motion within the time provided forunder Section 101.506; and
(d)
Respondent anticipates providing Complaint landlord an
opportunity to inspect the facility of concern in an attempt to resolve any disagreement
about its condition.
4.
Accordingly, Respondent requests an additional thirty (30) days, through
and including January
5,
2004, to file its motion to dismiss.
5.
The granting of this request for extension of time will not result in
material prejudice to the Complainant.
WHEREFORE, Respondent, F.T.C. AMERICA CORPORATION, respectfully
requests the hearing officer to enter an order extending the time for Respondent to file a
Motion to Dismiss under Section 101.506 for an additional 30 days through and including
January
5,
