I carefully reviewed the materialto provide this certificate and present this motion and there was delay due to 5intervening days for which I have a firm religious commitment not to work (4 days ofPassover and a Sabbath). The prior two business days have been religious holidays,and that is why this motion is filed now and not on Monday. This motion has beenmade in good faith and is not intended as a surprise or as a procedural maneuver./s/ Gary N. ScheppsGary N.
