MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE AN ANSWER

DEFENDANT, through undersigned counsel, and unto this Honorable

Court respectfully states:

complaint on February 16, 2018 and consequently, has only up to March 3,
2018 within which to file an Answer;

2. That the undersigned counsel has started to prepare the Answer

but, unfortunately, due to pressure of work in attending to other equally
important cases, he will need additional period of 15 days from March 3,
2018 to complete and file the same;

3. That, this motion is being filed solely for the foregoing reason and
not for purposes of delay.
