filed on October 4, 2011 (ECF No. 102) and served on the STAD Defendants on October 7, 2011,
by two weeks from January 24, 2012 to February 7, 2012.
On November 4th and 14th, the parties requested, and this Court later granted, a one-week

14

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

15

parties were in advanced stages of settlement discussions. On November 22nd, December 1st,

16

December 27th, and January 10th, the parties requested, and this Court later granted, extensions of

17

two weeks due to continued progress in settlement negotiations. The parties continue to be

18

hopeful that they will execute a settlement agreement forthwith. Due to the continued progress in

19
reaching a settlement, the parties request a two-week extension of the time for the STAD
20
21

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

22

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

23

the Court extend the STAD Defendants’ time to respond to the Amended Complaint by two

24

weeks from January 24, 2012 to February 7, 2012.
