ORDER GRANTING STIPULATION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
MIRANDA M. DU CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Plaintiff Dennis Montgomery and the United States of America hereby stipulate and agree that the United States may have a seven-day extension of time, from November 28, 2022 to December 5, 2022, to respond to Montgomery's Motion to Restrict Application of the State Secrets Privilege, the Protective Order, and the Classified Information Nondisclosure Agreement (ECF No. 1236).
The proposed extension is appropriate and supported by good cause. The current deadline falls on the Monday after Thanksgiving. In light of the holiday, personal travel surrounding it, and the press of business leading up to it, counsel for the United States requires a brief additional period in which to prepare and file the Government's responsive papers in an orderly fashion.
This is the United States' first request for an extension of time, see LR IA 6-1(a) (must advise of previous extensions), and the United States does not anticipate any further requests for extension of the response deadline. This stipulation is made in good faith and not for the purpose of undue delay.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
