MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME FOR DEFENDANT EQUIFAX INC. TO ANSWER OR OTHERWISE RESPOND TO PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT FIRST REQUEST
BRENDA WEKSLER UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Defendant Equifax Inc. (“Equifax” or “Defendant”), by its counsel and, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(b)(1) and LR IA 6-1, respectfully requests an extension of time to file its Answer or to otherwise respond to Plaintiff's Complaint. In support of this Motion, Equifax respectfully states as follows:
1. On June 16, 2023, Plaintiff filed a Complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, titled Stacy Hunter v. Experian Information Solutions, Inc., et al; Case No. 2:23-cv-00941-JAD-BNW (Doc. No. 1).
2. Equifax was served via its registered agent on July 14, 2023.
3. Pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 8 and 12, Equifax's response to Plaintiff's Complaint is due on August 4, 2023.
4. Equifax and its counsel require additional time to investigate and respond to the allegations and claims made by Plaintiff. In addition, Equifax reasonably anticipates attempting to engage in good faith settlement negotiations prior to Equifax's filing its responsive pleading to Plaintiff's Complaint.
5. Equifax's counsel has attempted to contact Pro Se Plaintiff via email on July 25, 2023, July 31, 2023 and August 1, 2023 regarding the relief requested herein. No response has been received.
6. Equifax respectfully requests a thirty (30) day extension of the deadline to respond to Plaintiff's Amended Complaint up to and including September 5. 20231. This motion is made in good faith, not for purposes of delay, and granting it will not prejudice any party. This extension of time will allow Equifax sufficient time to fully investigate the allegations and claims raised by Plaintiff's Complaint, confer with counsel, and prepare its response. This is Defendant Equifax's first request for an extension of time.
WHEREFORE, Equifax respectfully request that this Court grant its request for an extension of time to respond to Plaintiff's Amended Complaint up to and including September 5, 2023.
