STIP. AND ORDER EXTENDING TIME TO RESPOND TO 30TH ROUND REPORT, PART B

Defendants approached Plaintiffs regarding their need for additional time. Specifically,

2 Defendants requested that Plaintiffs agree to a nine-day extension, up to and including January 4,
3 2024, for the parties to file responses or objections to the Report. Plaintiffs are amenable to that
4 proposal. The parties further agreed that each party will have until January 23, 2024, to file
5 responses to the other party’s objections or responses to the Report if they determine such a
6 response is necessary.

Accordingly, the parties request that the Court extend the deadline for the parties to file

8 their responses or objections to the Report to January 4, 2024, and order that any responses to the
9 objections or responses must be filed by January 23, 2024.
