Civil Action No. 07-cv-00668-WDM-BNB.

ORDER
This matter is before me on the Defendants' Motion to Amend Answer Date for Foreign Defendants and Request to Continue and Reset Rule 16(b) Scheduling Conference and Other Planning Meeting Deadlines Until After the Answer Date [Doc. # 16, filed 4/19/2007] (the "Motion"). The Motion seeks relief in two forms: (1) confirming that the answer date for the foreign defendants in July 5, 2007 and (2) resetting the Scheduling Conference (currently set for June 1, 2007, at 2:30 p.m.) to a date after the foreign defendants answer. The plaintiff agrees that the foreign defendants must respond to the complaint by July 5, 2007, and does not oppose that part of the Motion. He does oppose resetting the Scheduling Conference to a later date, however.
I find that good cause exists to grant the Motion. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that the foreign defendants shall answer or otherwise respond to the complaint on or before July 5, 2007.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Scheduling Conference set for June 1, 2007, at 2:30 p.m., is VACATED and RESET to August 14, 2007, at 8:30 a.m., in Courtroom 401, 4th floor, Alfred A. Arraj United States Courthouse, 901 19th Street, Denver, Colorado. The parties shall submit a proposed scheduling order on or before August 7, 2007.
