In accordance with Eastern District of California Local Rule 143, Plaintiffs Mark Baird and

22

Richard Gallardo and Defendant Attorney General Xavier Becerra hereby stipulate to, and seek a

23

Court order granting, an extension of time from October 5, 2020, to November 2, 2020, for

24

Defendant to answer Plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint, ECF No. 34, which was filed on

25

September 21, 2020. There is good cause to extend this deadline. Earlier this month,

26

Defendant’s counsel presented oral argument before a three-judge panel in federal court in a

27

congressional apportionment challenge, and Defendant’s counsel has three appellate briefs that

are currently due in state and federal court later this month. Defendant’s counsel did not seek an

extension before the October 5, 2020 deadline due to an inadvertent calendaring error.
