Hi Haytham,

I looked through the fed rules of evidence, crim pro, and looked  
through the eastern dist of michigan local criminal and civil rules.

The only thing I found that MIGHT help us is in LR 7.1(g)(1) but it  
doesn't refer specifically to our circumstances:

LR 7.1 Motion Practice
(g)   Additional Time to File Supporting Documents and Brief.

(1)   When a motion, response or written request states that the  
filing of additional affidavits or other documents in support or  
opposition is necessary, the assigned judge may specify the time  
within which the additional documents and brief must be filed by:

(A)   entering an ex parte order prepared by the person making the  
request, or

(B)   approving a written stipulation.

(2)   A person obtaining such an order must immediately:

(A)   serve it on opposing parties and other persons entitled to be  
heard on the motion, and

(B)   notify them personally or by telephone, electronic mail, or  
facsimile of the signing of the order.

(3)   A person against whom an ex parte enlargement of time has been  
granted may immediately move for a dissolution of the order granting  
enlargement.

Would this help? I also did a search for caselaw but haven't found  
anything and I know you didn't want me to spend too much time on it so  
I thought I'd send this over and see what you think.
