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 eight days from December 19, 2011 to December 27, 2012.

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 22nd and December 1st,

15

the parties requested, and this Court later granted, extensions of two weeks due to continued

16

progress in settlement negotiations. The timing of finalizing a settlement has been impacted by

17

several complex factors, but the parties continue to be hopeful that they will execute a settlement

18

agreement forthwith. Due to the upcoming holidays and the continued progress in reaching a

19

settlement, the parties request an eight day extension of the time for the STAD Defendants to

20

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

21

on the schedule. In the interests of judicial economy, the parties therefore request that Court

22

extend the STAD Defendants’ time to respond to the Amended Complaint by eight days from

23

December 19, 2011 to December 27, 2012.
