Dear S:.r:
Pursuant to Rule 34 (5) , the appellee herewith
requests an extension of time to and including
Septe.nber 2, 1984, in which to f ile a motion to
dilmrss or affj-rm the appeal taken in this case'
The jurisdictional staternent was filed on June
2, figa and served uPon the aPPeIIee on June 10,
1984, and unless extended the time for filing
such a motion will expire on July 10, 1994.
This request is made necessari' by the fact that
appellee's counsel in North carolina is schedulec
f;i tri-a] on June 18, 1984, and appellee's counsel
in New york has previously scheduleo a vacation
for June 27 through July IO, 1984. In addition,
appellee's counsel contj-nue to spend time in this
.il. challenging a portion of the remedy proposed
by appellants. The additi.onal time is therefore
nlceiiary to permit counsel to confer and then to
draft the motion to dismiss or affirm in this im-
Portant case.
Appe i lant' s cour:se 1 , Kathleen ileenan l"lcGuan and
.:ames iryallace , JT. , have COnSented to this exten-
si-on. Appetiee believes that this extension wilI
nor unduil' deiay this Court' s consioerati-on of the
appeai a,',c that the Court wi-1} be able to act uPon
the appea3- as scon as the new Tern conmences on
October 1, 1981.
