MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME 

FOR ORAL ARGUMENT 

Plaintiffs respectfully move this Court for a brief 

extension of time from September 9, 1977 to September 12, 

1977 or as soon thereafter as is convenient for this Court 

to hear oral argument on all motions on the following 

grounds: 

(1) Ms. Beth Lief, counsel for plaintiffs, has to 

appear before the Honorable Edward N. Cohn in the United 

 



  

States District Court for the Eastern District of 

Pennsylvania on September 9, 1977 at 1:30 P.M., to 

hear all outstanding motions in the case of Coleman, 

et al. v. Carr Realty, et al., Civil Action No. 77-377. 
  

2. Because of this prior commitment, counsel is 

unable to be physically present on September 9, 1977 

to argue outstanding motions in the above-entitled 

actions. 

3. Counsel for plaintiffs are as anxious as all 

parties for the swift, efficient and orderly progression 

of these actions and, therefore, request that oral argu- 

ment be heard as soon after September 9, 1977 as is conven- 

ient for this Court, 

WHEREFORE, plaintiffs respectfully request that the 

motion be granted. 

Respectfully submitted,
