ST. PAUL — A bankruptcy judge has given the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis more time to submit a reorganization plan.

Judge Robert Kressel on Thursday extended the deadline for filing the plan to Nov. 30.

Attorneys for the archdiocese argued it needed more time to both work with insurance carriers and to determine a more precise total number of abuse claims. The attorneys said it would be counterproductive to file without that information.
