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

9

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

10

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

11

by two weeks from November 21, 2011 to December 5, 2011.

12

On November 4, the parties requested, and this Court later granted, a one-week extension

13

of time for Defendants to respond to the Amended Complaint from November 7 to November 14,

14

2011 because the parties were in advanced stages of settlement discussions. On November 14,

15

2011, this Court again granted a second one-week extension from November 14 to November 21

16

because the parties had made significant progress in settlement discussions. That progress has

17

continued during the last week and the parties expect to execute a settlement agreement forthwith.

18

Due to the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday and continued progress in settlement negotiations, the

19

parties ask for a two-week extension of the time for the STAD Defendants to respond to the

20

Amended Complaint. The parties’ request will have a de minimis, if any, impact on the schedule.

21

In the interests of judicial economy, the parties therefore request that Court extend the STAD

22

Defendants’ time to respond to the Amended Complaint by two weeks from November 21, 2011

23

to December 5, 2011.
