ORDER GRANTING

STIPULATION TO EXTEND PLAINTIFFS' DEADLINE TO FILE OPPOSITIONS TO DEFENDANTS' MOTIONS TO DISMISS (FIRST REQUEST)

Anne R. Traum, United States District Court Judge

Defendants TRAVEL INSURANCE FACILITIES, PLC and UNION REISEVERSICHERUNG AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT ("Defendants") and Plaintiffs VALLEY HEALTH SYSTEM, LLC; DVH HOSPITAL ALLIANCE, LLC, and SUMMERLIN HOSPITAL MEDICAL CENTER, LLC (“Plaintiffs”), by and through their counsel of record, hereby stipulate, agree, and request that the deadline for Plaintiffs to file oppositions to Defendants' Motions to Dismiss (ECF Nos. 24 and 56) be extended by two weeks, up to and including September 20, 2023.

Defendants filed Motions to Dismiss requesting dismissal primarily due to a lack of personal jurisdiction. ECF Nos. 24 and 56. Plaintiffs requested leave to conduct limited jurisdictional discovery relevant to the issue of personal jurisdiction, which the Court granted on July 12, 2023. ECF No. 68. The Court provided Plaintiffs until September 6, 2023 to file oppositions to Defendants' Motions to Dismiss. Id.

Plaintiffs served Jurisdictional Interrogatories on both Defendants on July 13, 2023. Defendants' responses were initially due on August 14, 2023, which would provide Plaintiffs approximately three weeks thereafter to prepare their Oppositions to Defendants' Motions to Dismiss.

Defendants require additional time to gather information responsive to Plaintiffs' Jurisdictional Interrogatories, which has proved difficult thus far due to the nature in which information is tracked in Defendant TIF's claims management system. Defendants requested a two-week extension to August 28, 2023 to allow sufficient time to respond to Plaintiffs' Jurisdictional Interrogatories, to which Plaintiffs agreed.

To maintain sufficient time for Plaintiffs to prepare their Oppositions to Defendants' Motions to Dismiss, the parties hereby request that the deadline for Plaintiffs to file the Oppositions be extended to September 20, 2023.

The stipulation is made in good faith and not for purposes of delay.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
