POWER PROJECT UNIT 4 LLC (collectively, the “STAD Defendants”) respectfully request that

9

the Court extend the time for the STAD Defendants to respond to the Amended Complaint, filed

10

on October 4, 2011 (ECF No. 102) and served on the STAD Defendants on October 7, 2011, by

11

one week from November 7, 2011 to November 14, 2011.

12

The reason for the parties’ joint request is that the parties are in advanced stages of

13

settlement discussions and are hoping to reach a settlement forthwith. The parties have requested,

14

and this Court has granted, two continuances of a hearing on an earlier motion to dismiss filed by

15

one of the STAD Defendants. The filing of the Amended Complaint mooted that motion to

16

dismiss. The parties have not requested any extensions of time since the Amended Complaint

17

was filed. Because the parties are only asking for a one-week extension, the parties’ request will

18

have a de minimis, if any, impact on the schedule. In the interests of judicial economy, the parties

19

therefore request that Court extend the STAD Defendants’ time to respond to the Amended

20

Complaint by one week from November 7, 2011 to November 14, 2011.
