083668P.pdf   01/21/2010  Matthew Hawks  v.  J.P. Morgan Chase Bank
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-3668
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - St. Joseph   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Bye and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - employment discrimination. District court did not abuse its
   discretion by denying plaintiff's untimely motion for an extension of time
   to respond to defendants' motion to dismiss as counsel's basis for
   missing the deadline - the press of other business - did not constitute
   excusable neglect; the district court did not err in dismissing the case
   under Rule 12(b)(6) for failure to state a claim as plaintiff failed to make
   a prima facie case of sex discrimination; the district court did not err in
   denying plaintiff's post-judgment motion to amend his complaint.
