Plaintiff-Appellant,

V.

MEMPHIS POLICE DEPARTMENT,

Defendants-Appellees,

Plaintiff-appellant Cleamtee Gamer, respectfully moves 
this Court for an Order extending the time for filing his Brief 
and Appendix in this case for a period of 30 days, to and 
including April 25, 1977. In support of this Motion, plaintiff- 
appellant would show the following:

1. The present due date for the Brief and Appendix 
is March 26, 1977.

2. The attorney who was to have prepared the Brief and 

Appendix is Drew S. Days, III, Esq., who was also involved in the



trial of the case below.

3. Mr. Days has been appointed to the Department of Justice 
as Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, and was sworn in
on March 10, 1977. Because of the assumption of his new duties he 
will be unable to participate further in this litigation.

4. Thus, it is necessary for new counsel to familiarize 
themselves with the record in this case so as adequately to 
brief the issues involved. it will be impossible for them to do 
so by the present due date.

5. A thirty-day extension of time will not prejudice 
the rights of the Defendants-Appellants.

WHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, an extension of 
time to and including April 25, 1977 is requested.

Respectfully submitted.
