STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
KYMBERLY K. EVANSON, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
The parties are continuing to work towards resolving this matter. Undersigned counsel for Defendants has been in significant contact with necessary government agencies since the Court's last extension working on a means to resolve this matter without further litigation. As such, the parties believe their efforts are best spent towards achieving that goal and continue to want to avoid the Court having to expend resources unnecessarily on deciding issues that may soon be moot. Thus, the parties believe there is good cause for a further three-week extension of the current deadlines recently set by the Court. Dkt. 28. This is in part time to give Amicus sufficient time to prepare any response without intruding on the Thanksgiving holiday if such a response becomes necessary. Further, it will hopefully avoid the parties having to return to the Court for piecemeal extensions.
Subject to the Court's approval, the parties stipulate to and request the following:
1. Defendants' motion to dismiss (Dkt. 15) is re-noted from November 17, 2023, to December 8, 2023;
2. Defendants' response is extended from November 9, 2023 until November 27, 2023;
3. Amicus party National Immigration Litigation Association may file a reply to Defendants' response to its amicus brief by December 8, 2023; and
4. The current deadline to file a Joint Status Report is extended from December 4, 2023, until January 4, 2023.
ORDER

Defendants may file their response by November 27, 2023, and Amicus party National Immigration Litigation Association may file a reply by December 8, 2023.
