Judge just denied DoJ's motion to deny us an extension to respond...

All,

This morning DoJ had filed an objection to our request on Monday for a two week

timeframe to respond to the Dec 24th filing. The Judge just denied this

request...which also effectively denies DoJ's ultimatum/deadline in its Dec 30th

to vacate its order of injunctive relief by of Jan 6th.

Seems as if the Judge isn't going to be bullied by the Govt. The question now is

whether the Govt will appeal his order below. Note that Judge has scheduled a

hearing on Jan 14th.
