The United States believes that the Motion of Defendants LSL Biotechnologies, Inc. and LSL PlantScience LLC to Dismiss the Complaint filed December 5, 2000 ("Defendants' Motion to Dismiss") is capable of prompt resolution on the pleadings, that oral argument is not necessary, and that the Court should deny Defendants' Motion to Dismiss on the papers. To the extent the Court would find oral argument helpful, however, the general time frame suggested by Defendants -- early March -- appears to be convenient. The United States suggests that the parties and the Court arrange a conference call to set a specific date and time for any hearing on Defendants' Motion to Dismiss that the Court may order. DATED this 21st day of December, 2000. FOR PLAINTIFF UNITED STATES _______________/s/________________ I hereby certify that I have caused a copy of the foregoing Response to Motion for Oral Argument on the Motion of Defendants LSL Biotechnologies, Inc. and LSL PlantScience LLC to Dismiss the Complaint to be served on counsel for defendants in this matter in the manner set forth below: By first class mail, postage prepaid: William J. Kolasky Clifford B. Altfeld Charles Westland Kim E. Williamson
