STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR
EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND TO
COMPLAINT, and TO FILE JOINT

[E.D. Cal. Local Rule 144(a)]
Defendants.

Plaintiffs served their complaint in this matter on the United States Attorney’s Office on or about
23 August 24, 2017. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(i), the United States’ responsive
24 pleading was due on October 23, 2017. Defendants previously filed a notice of related case (Dkt. No.
25 4), and the Court re-assigned the case based on that notice, but there has been no substantive activity in
26 the matter. The parties previously agreed to extensions of time for the United States to respond, up to
27 and including January 5, 2018.

The prior extensions were necessary to evaluate the complex issues presented in this case, and to

1 coordinate with various divisions within the Department of Justice to determine principal responsibility

3 and did not expect further extensions, the United States has discovered a potential conflict of
4 interest/appearance of impropriety issue that requires investigation to determine whether recusal of
5 certain of its attorneys is appropriate. This process cannot be completed by the responsive pleading
6 deadline of January 5, 2018 (i.e. tomorrow). Therefore, Plaintiffs and Defendants, by and through their

(1) Defendants shall have an extension of 30 days, up to and including February 5,

(2) The deadline for submitting the Joint Status Report shall be continued to February
12, 2018.
