STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER TO EXTEND DEADLINE TO FILE RESPONSIVE PLEADING TO FOURTH AMENDED COMPLAINT ECF NO. 94 (FIRST REQUEST)
The parties, by and through their respective counsel of record, hereby stipulate to extend the deadline for Defendants to respond to the Fourth Amended Complaint (FAC) filed at ECF No. 94. This is the parties' first stipulation to extend the deadline to file a responsive pleading to the FAC.
Pursuant to FRCP 15(a)(3), the deadline to file a response to an amended pleading is fourteen (14) days. The parties hereby agree to extend that deadline, because there is a new Defendant added in the FAC, Dr. Michael Minev, and the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) has been authorized to accept service on his behalf. The OAG will also be reaching out to determine whether Defendants Edison Rojas (ECF No. 80) and Maritza Velasco-Avila (ECF No. 71) wish to seek representation in this matter.
The proposed extended deadlines would correspond to the standard deadlines issued for inmate litigation that does not settle at the early mediation conference, allowing the OAG twenty-one (21) days to identify those Defendants for whom it will accept service, and sixty (60) days to file the first responsive pleading.
PROPOSED DEADLINES:
Notice of acceptance of service - August 4, 2023
First responsive pleading - September 12, 2023
ORDER
Upon Stipulation of the parties, and good cause appearing therefor, it is hereby ORDERED deadlines to respond to the Fourth Amended Complaint shall be extended per the parties' stipulation.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
