(CNN) - The government has until September 4 to make its first response to a civil lawsuit filed by Jill Kelley, the Florida woman caught up in the scandal which led to last year's resignation of CIA Director David Petraeus. Kelley filed suit against the federal government in early June alleging her privacy had been violated by employees of government agencies.
Last week a federal judge granted a request to give the government 30 additional days before responding to Kelley's complaint. The government cited the length of Kelley's suit and the need to confer with multiple government agencies. Kelley's defense team did not oppose the government's request for more time.
Kelley, described at the time of the Petraeus scandal as a "Tampa socialite," filed suit in federal district court on June 3 accusing unnamed federal officials of wrongfully searching her personal e-mails and divulging what she says was false information to the media.

According to U.S. officials, the FBI looked at between 20,000 and 30,000 pages of documents most of them e-mails and have found "potentially inappropriate" correspondence between Kelley and another top military figure, Gen. John Allen.
At the time, a defense official described some of the e-mails between Allen and Kelley as "flirtatious." Allen retired from military service in February.

He's popped up "on the ground" working for Kerry/Hagel helping to bring peace to the Middle East:
Kerry tells US Jewish leaders he fears for Israels future if no peace deal
Times of Israel ^ | August 9, 2013, 6:34 am | Rebecca Shimoni Stoil
"Kerry told the leaders that one of the lynchpins of the current peace process is the separation of Israels security assurances from the general negotiations, assurances he said would be guaranteed in a separate agreement with the US."
"The security track is being worked out under the auspices of retired Marine Corps general John Allen, who is currently Defense Secretary Chuck Hagels special adviser for the Middle East Peace."

Meanwhile, the "Tampa socialite" has become a shining privacy rights advocate amongst the current Obama administration's private data scandals. (Got bills to pay.)
She desperately needs the money as she and hubby have somehow been managing to pursue a lifestyle far above their income.
