[PROPOSED] ORDER
This case is before the Court on the motion of defendants Barack Obama, President of the
United States, Eric Holder, Attorney General of the United States, and General Keith B.
Alexander, Director of the National Security Agency (NSA), insofar as they are sued in their
official capacities, together with defendants NSA and the United States Department of Justice
(collectively, the “Government Defendants”), for a stay of the Government Defendants’ deadline
to respond to Plaintiffs’ Class Action Amended Complaint (Dkt. No. 4) (the “Complaint”), in
light of the recent lapse in Government appropriations.
The Court having considered the Government Defendants’ submissions in support of
their motion and any submissions in opposition thereto,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
1.

The Government Defendants’ motion is hereby GRANTED.

respond to the Complaint shall be extended commensurate with the duration of the lapse
in appropriations.

So ORDERED this __________ day of _______________, 2013.
