Republic of the Philippines REGIONAL TRIAL COURT OF LANAO DEL SUR 12th Judicial Region Marawi City ZAKEE

AHMAD SAID, Plaintiff, ---versus--FAIHA MOHAMAD, Defendant. X -------------------------------------X CIVIL CASE No. 8765-10

MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE RESPONSIVE PLEADINGS

Defendant, through the undersigned counsel and to this Honorable Court most respectfully alleges: 1. That the reglementary period to file responsive pleadings in the above-entitled case will expire on December 20, 2010, it being that defendant received the summons together with the copies of the complaint on December 1, 2010; 2. That due to the almost unbearable pressure of work saddling the undersigned counsel in preparing memoranda, briefs, petition, etc. in other equally important cases let alone the fact that he still has to acquaint himself of the facts and circumstances of the case, he is now constrained to ask more time within which to prepare and eventually file responsive pleadings for the defendant; 3. That this motion is not intended for delay but solely to serve the very ends of justice; WHEREFORE, it is most respectfully prayed of this Honorable Court that the herein defendant be given an extension of fifteen days from the expiration of the reglementary period or until January 10, 2011 within which to file said responsive pleadings. Further prays for other relief as may be deemed just and equitable under the premises. Marawi City, December 15, 2010.
