JOINT STIPULATION TO EXTEND TIME FOR DEFENDANTS TO ANSWER OR OTHERWISE RESPOND TO PLAINTIFF'S THIRD AMENDED COMPLAINT [ECF NO. 192] (SECOND REQUEST) )
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, pursuant to FRCP 6 and LR IA 61 and subject to this Court's approval, that Defendants Razaghi Development Company, LLC, Ahmad Razaghi, and Tausif Hasan (collectively “Defendants”) shall have an extension of time, up to and including August 19, 2022 to respond to or otherwise answer Plaintiff's Third Amended Complaint (ECF No. 192).
The parties stipulate to the above extension due to defense counsels' current case load, Defendants' availability, and in consideration of the volume and complexity of the issues in this case. Specifically, Defendants require additional time to investigate and formulate a response to the Third Amended Complaint which is 132 pages, with 278 numbered paragraphs plus an additional 80 pages of subparts. The Third Amended Complaint contains 27 additional pages plus revisions to the Plaintiff s allegations contained in the Second Amended Complaint. Due to the sheer volume of these allegations, Defendants require additional time to evaluate the claims and prepare their response thereto. Defendants make their request through August 19, 2022 because Defendant Razaghi is unavailable for a two-week period during this timeframe due to personal reasons. This is the second request to extend Defendants' deadline to respond to the Third Amended Complaint.
This request is made in good faith and not for the purpose of delay. Neither party will be prejudiced by the requested extension.
For the reasons set forth above, the parties ask the Court to approve this stipulation and allow Defendants up to and including August 19, 2022 to respond to or otherwise answer the Third Amended Complaint (ECF No. 192).
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED
IT IS SO ORDERED; provided, however, no further extensions of time will be granted.
