Defendant moved for an extension of time to answer (and file any counterclaims)
until after the Court rules on its to-be-filed motion to dismiss for lack of personal
jurisdiction. Plaintiff opposes the motion.
After Defendant moved for an extension of time, Plaintiff filed an amended
complaint. The Court does not know whether the filing of the amended complaint
impacts Defendant’s intention to file a motion to dismiss for lack of personal
jurisdiction.
Assuming Defendant files a motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction,
the Court finds good cause to defer the time to answer. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Defendant shall answer or otherwise respond to the
amended complaint by the time set by the Rules of Civil Procedure.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if Defendant files a motion to dismiss for
lack of personal jurisdiction, the time to file an answer and any counterclaim(s) pursuant
to General Order 17-08 § A.5 is hereby DEFERRED until 10 days after the Court issues

1

its order deciding Defendant’s to-be-filed motion to dismiss the above-captioned case

2

for lack of personal jurisdiction; hereby granting Doc. 12 to the extent specified in this

3

Order.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant’s time to serve responses to the

5

mandatory initial discovery under General Order 17-08 § A.6 shall be measured from

6

the date of Defendant’s answer/counterclaim(s).
