ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan Chief Judge
Pending in the above-docketed matter is a Motion To Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction, filed August 23, 2023, by respondent. However, further review raised questions regarding the potential applicability of any disaster relief afforded to California residents and businesses, and respondent was directed to file a supplement to the motion clarifying the relevance, if any, of disaster relief in the context of this proceeding.
Respondent so filed a supplement on August 30, 2023, advising that the deadline for filing the petition herein had been extended to October 16, 2023, thus rendering the petition timely. The supplement further asked that the motion to dismiss be denied.
Accordingly, the premises considered, it is
ORDERED that respondent's Motion To Dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction, as supplemented, is denied. It is further
ORDERED that, on or before October 30, 2023, respondent shall file an answer to the petition in this case.
