Pursuant to Local Rule IA 6-1, 6-2 and LR 7-1, the undersigned counsel of record for Plaintiff Saul Garcia and Defendant Zuffa, LLC hereby STIPULATE to extend the time for Zuffa to file an answer or move in response to the complaint. Per the parties' first stipulation and the Court's August 8, 2023 Order, Zuffa's response to the complaint is currently due August 30, 2023. ECF No. 5.

Zuffa, LLC, Case No. 2:23-cv-01259-CDS-EJY. As such, any response to the complaint in this action may be moot should the Court grant the Motion to Consolidate.
