07/19/2005 MINUTE ORDER denying 1141 Sandy McKinnon?s motion to reconsider ordergranting defendant?s motion for an extension of time to file his opposition to themotion. On June 7, 2005, the Court granted defendant?s motion for a 60 dayextension to respond to Mr. McKinnon?s motion for attorney?s fees. Mr. McKinnon?sattorney, for various reasons, explains that he did not receive defendant?s motion untilafter the Court had already granted it. Mr. McKinnon?s attorney notes that he wouldhave agreed to a 30 day extension. Mr. McKinnon?s attorney argues that his originalfees petition was filed in 2002, but was denied without prejudice pending Monitorreview and that defendant does not require 60 days to respond to the petition. TheCourt is persuaded by defendant?s argument that the additional time is necessary topermit defendant to either negotiate a settlement with Mr. McKinnon?s attorney or toprepare a response.
