By__________________________________ Attorneys for Plaintiff No Slippy Hair Clippy, Inc. Plaintiff effected service of the complaint on June 24, 2010. The response would initially have been due on July 15, 2010. Defendant has obtained by stipulation one prior 2-week extension of the time within which to file Defendant's answer. If this further extension is approved, the aggregate extension of time will be only 22 days. Good cause exists for granting this further extension. As stated in the previous stipulation, defendant is located in New York. Defendant only retained litigation counsel to defend it in this litigation shortly before the initial response date. Litigation counsel is located in New Jersey and had to engage local counsel who could appear in this district. Upon review of the pleadings, it is apparent that certain defenses (including objection to venue, which Defendant does not waive) must be asserted by pre-answer (Rule 12) motion. The proper preparation of such motion(s) is time-consumptive, particularly the process of gathering the appropriate evidence and presenting it in admissible form. Defense counsel initially believed that it could complete all of the necessary paperwork within the 2-week extension period but has been unable to do so, and needs an additional six days in which to do so. No party will be prejudiced by this short further delay. The total number of extension days is less than the 28 days permitted under E.D.L.Rule 144. IT IS SO STIPULATED.
