Re: Request for Additional Time to File Opposition to Application for Review 
Dear Mr. Havens:
This letter denies your request for additional time to file an opposition to the Application 
for Review of Paging Systems, Inc. (“PSI”) concerning the Wireless Telecommunications 
Bureau’s Order on Reconsideration adopted and released on July 1, 2010.1  
In a request submitted by email earlier today, you state that you need additional time to 
prepare an opposition to PSI’s Application for Review because your company’s time has been 
consumed with participation in the Commission’s recently-concluded auction of paging licenses 
(Auction 87), the subsequent vacation schedules of your key employees, and your recent 
engagement of new counsel.  You also contend that PSI would not be prejudiced by such an 
extension.  PSI objects to any extension, noting that Auction 87 ended 10 days before the 
deadline and that your new counsel has not entered an appearance in this proceeding. 2  
We find that you have not met the standard for an extension of time to file a responsive 
pleading, particularly where you did not make your request until the day of the deadline and the 
other party to this proceeding opposes your request.  In the context of applications for review, the 
Commission has found that:
Waiver of the deadline is appropriate only where equities so require and no party would 
be prejudiced thereby. Motions for extension of time generally must be filed at least 
seven days prior to the filing deadline, except that the motion may be filed within the 
last seven days if the party orally notifies other parties and the Commission staff

Petition for Reconsideration of Public Notice Announcing Procedures for Auction of Automated Maritime 
Telecommunications System Licenses, Order on Reconsideration, DA 10-1242 (WTB rel. July 1, 2010),

responsible for acting on the motion that the motion has been or is being filed.  Such 
motions are not routinely granted.3
We are not persuaded that the equities require additional time in these circumstances.  In 
particular, the law firm you identified as having been recently engaged has been representing you 
in Commission-related matters at least since early June 2010, well in advance of the July 1, 2010 
Bureau order that is the subject of PSI’s Application for Review. 4 Moreover, you have not 
explained why you were unable to submit your extension request earlier.  Further, you have not 
explained how any additional time for filing a responsive pleading would lead to a more 
complete record in light of the limitations on issues that may be raised in this proceeding and the 
extensive arguments that have already been presented on these issues.5  
For these reasons, your request for extension of the filing deadline is DENIED.
Sincerely,
Gary D. Michaels
Deputy Chief, Auctions and Spectrum Access Division
Wireless Telecommunications Bureau
