“"As a matter of law, the defendant's motion for extension of time does not show any excusable neglect. The general rule is that the press of work or other activities of an attorney do not constitute excusable neglect. See Vol. 15A Words and Phrases, p. 228. See also Citizens' Protective League v. Clark, 85 U.S.App. D.C. 282, 178 F.2d 703 ; Maghan v. Young, 80 U.S.App.D.C. 395 , 154 F.2d 13 ; Motors Ins. Corp. v. Fields, 294 S.W. 2d 518 (Ky.); Dow v. Ross, 90 Cal. 562 , 27 P. 409 .”
