POWER PROJECT UNIT 4, LLC (collectively, the “STAD Defendants”) respectfully request
8
that the Court extend the time for the STAD Defendants to respond to the Amended Complaint,
9
filed on October 4, 2011 (ECF No. 102) and served on the STAD Defendants on October 7, 2011,
10
11
by two weeks from February 21, 2012 to March 6, 2012.
On November 4th and 14th, the parties requested, and this Court later granted, a one-week
12
extension of time for the STAD Defendants to respond to the Amended Complaint because the
13
parties were in advanced stages of settlement discussions. On November 22nd, December 1st,
14
December 27th, January 10th, January 20th, and February 3rd, the parties requested, and this Court
15
later granted, extensions of two weeks due to continued progress in settlement negotiations.
16
In December 2011, Solar Millennium AG – parent company of the STAD Defendants –
17
filed for bankruptcy in Germany. This has complicated the extensive settlement discussions
18
between Plaintiffs and STAD Defendants, which involve a deal with a third-party purchaser of
19
STA Development, LLC’s assets. Despite these complications, the parties remain optimistic that
20
a settlement is on the horizon and that they will execute a settlement agreement forthwith. Due to
21
the continued progress in reaching a settlement, the parties request a two-week extension of the
22
time for the STAD Defendants to respond to the Amended Complaint. The parties’ request will
23
have a de minimis, if any, impact on the schedule. In the interests of judicial economy, the parties
24
therefore request that the Court extend the STAD Defendants’ time to respond to the Amended
25
Complaint by two weeks from February 21, 2012 to March 6, 2012.
