    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by R.C. Flemal):
    This matter is before the Board on Electronic Interconnect Corporation’s (EIC) June 3,
    1997 motion for extension of time to respond to complainant’s motion for partial summary
    judgment. Also on June 3, 1997, complainant filed a response to EIC’s motion.
    EIC requests an extension of time to file its response. The request is for 90 days from
    the date of the filing of complainant’s motion for partial summary judgment. Pursuant to 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 103.140(c), EIC is allowed seven days to respond to complainant’s motion. EIC
    lists several reasons for the request including counsel’s vacation, lengthy depositions of
    respondents Bhogilal Patel and Subhash Patel, and the need to hire an expert witness.
    Complainant objects to granting EIC a 90 day extension and believes it will prejudice the
    complainant. Complainant argues that EIC has been a respondent in this matter since November
    1995, giving adequate time to acquire an expert witness, and EIC’s less than dilatory action
    over the past 19 months whereby EIC did not respond to complainant’s discovery until repeated
    hearing officer orders. However, complainant has no objection to granting EIC an extension
    through June 30, 1997.
    The Board finds EIC has not shown sufficient reasons to grant a lengthy, 90-day
    extension. However the Board hereby grants EIC until June 30, 1997 to file an answer to
    complainant’s motion for partial summary judgment.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.

    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, hereby certify that
    the above order was adopted on the 5th day of June, 1997, by a vote of 7-0.
