The stipulated request for a second extension of time for defendant Goldstein to file his

20

response to the first amended complaint and any cross-compliant adding parties is DENIED. A

21

desire for “additional time to evaluate and respond to the [settlement] proposal” is not good cause

22

for the requested extension (Dkt. No. 76). Litigation must proceed in a timely fashion regardless

23

of parallel efforts to settle the claims.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
