EX PARTE APPLICATION TO EXTEND

Defendant ANHEUSER-BUSCH, INC. (“A-B”) respectfully submits this ex parte application

21

seeking an order from the Court extending the date for it to answer plaintiff UNITED BRANDS

22

COMPANY, INC. (“UBC”)’s second amended complaint.

23

UBC filed its Second Amended Complaint on September 16, 2011. Pursuant to Rule 15(a)(3)

24

of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, A-B’s response to the Second Amended Complaint is

25

currently due on September 30, 2011. A-B hereby requests a two (2) week extension of that date until

26

and including October 14, 2011. Good cause exists for such an extension in that A-B needs additional

27

time to investigate various allegations in the Second Amended Complaint – which contains 142

28

paragraphs spread over 25 pages – so that it can accurately and completely answer that pleading.
