Defendants hereby move for an extension of time up to and including November 16, 2016 in
which to file their reply brief in support of their motion to dismiss. 1 The current deadline is October
17, 2016. Plaintiff’s counsel has consented to the extension of time. In support of this motion,
Defendants state as follows:

Plaintiff’s response to the motion to dismiss incorporated a cross-motion to amend the complaint. See ECF No. 35.
For the sake of simplicity, Defendants plan to combine their reply brief supporting the motion to dismiss with a
response to Plaintiff’s cross-motion to amend. The requested extension therefore also includes Defendants’
response to the cross-motion to amend.

Defendants require additional time because of the press of business and scheduling conflicts,

2

including summary judgment briefing this month on an accelerated schedule. This motion is not

3

sought merely for delay but in order that justice may be served.

Based on the foregoing, Defendants respectfully request that their unopposed motion for an
