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

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 December 5, 2011 to December 19, 2011.

12

On November 4th and 14th, the parties requested, and this Court later granted, a one-week

13

extension of time for the STAD Defendants to respond to the Amended Complaint because the

14

parties were in advanced stages of settlement discussions. On November 22, 2011, this Court

15

granted a third extension for two weeks extending the time for the STAD Defendants to respond

16

from November 21 to December 5 due to the Thanksgiving holiday and continued progress in

17

settlement negotiations. That progress has continued and the parties remain hopeful that they will

18

execute a settlement agreement forthwith.

19

extension of the time for the STAD Defendants to respond to the Amended Complaint. The

20

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

21

economy, the parties therefore request that Court extend the STAD Defendants’ time to respond

22

to the Amended Complaint by two weeks from December 5 to December 19, 2011.

The parties therefore request another two-week
