BALLARD SPAHR LLP Joel E. Tasca Andrew S. Clark Attorneys for Defendant Citibank, N.A.
UNOPPOSED MOTION AND PROPOSED ORDER TO EXTEND TIME TO RESPOND TO COMPLAINT
The response of defendant Citibank, N.A. (named as “CitiCards Bank, N.A.”) is due November 18, 2022. Citibank has requested, and Plaintiff has agreed, that Citibank has up to and including December 2, 2022, to respond to Plaintiff's complaint to provide additional time for Citibank to investigate Plaintiffs allegations and for Citibank to prepare an adequate responsive pleading.
Although Plaintiff's counsel consented to this extension, Citibank's counsel was unable to reach opposing counsel in time to authorize a stipulation and proposed order, which is why this request is styled, instead, as an unopposed motion. However, counsel for Citibank represents that Plaintiff's counsel does not intend to oppose this request. See Exhibit A, Email between Counsel (proposed settlement terms redacted). Citibank asserts that there is good cause under Fed.R.Civ.P. 6(b)(1) to extend this deadline, given that Citibank's counsel was recently retained and intends to discuss whether early resolution to this case is possible.
This is Citibank's first request for extension and is made in good faith and not for purposes of delay.
ORDER
IT IS SO ORDERED.
