STIPULATION TO EXTEND THE UNITED STATES' DEADLINE TO ANSWER
Plaintiff John Ruiz and the United States of America, on behalf of Federal Defendants, the United States Department of States, U.S. Consulate General in Montreal, Canada, Anthony Blinken, United States Secretary of State, and Ana Escrogima, Consul General of the United States at the U.S. Consulate General in Montreal, Canada, through counsel, hereby stipulate and agree as follows:
1. Plaintiff filed his Complaint (ECF No. 1) on September 27, 2022.
2. Plaintiff served the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Nevada with a copy of the Summons and Complaint on September 28, 2022.
3. The current deadline for Federal Defendants to answer or otherwise respond is November 28, 2022, as the sixtieth day falls on a Sunday. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 6(a)(1)(C).
4. The parties have agreed that the United States shall have 30 additional days to file an answer or other responsive pleading on behalf of Federal Defendants because the United States Attorney's Office had trouble in getting counsel for the agency alerted to and informed about the case. This additional time will allow the United States to evaluate Plaintiff's claims.
5. This stipulation is made in good faith and not for the purpose of delay.
Therefore, the parties request that the Court extend the deadline for the United States to answer or otherwise respond to December 28, 2022.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
