STIPULATION AND ORDER TO RESPOND TO

(First Request)

Plaintiff Meridian OHC Partners, LP and defendants Michael A. Davis and Rudolf Steiner

23

Foundation, Inc., d/b/a RSF Social Finance (collectively, the “Parties”) hereby stipulate and agree to

24

extend the deadline for each defendant to respond to the Third Amended Complaint to May 15,
2018. The Third Amended Complaint, among other things, alleges that Mr. Davis and RSF Social

Case 2:16-cv-01161-JAD-CWH Document 113 Filed 05/03/18 Page 2 of 3

1

Finance, from at least 2011 forward, formed and acted as an undisclosed “group” within the meaning

2

of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act. (See ECF No. 75 ¶¶ 33-56.) This allegedly violated

3

section 13(d). (See id. ¶¶ 87-101.) RSF needs additional time to evaluate these allegations and to

4

prepare a responsive pleading. Defendants believe that it would be most efficient for both defendants

5

to remain on the same schedule for filing responsive pleadings and Davis, therefore, respectfully

6

requests that any extension given to RSF apply to Davis as well. Therefore, good cause exists for the

7

requested extension.

8

This proposed extension of the deadline for defendants to answer does not alter any other

9

dates in the Court’s April 19, 2018 Scheduling Order. (ECF No. 111.) In making this stipulation, the

10

parties each do not waive any of their respective legal or procedural rights, which are hereby

11

preserved.

12

IT IS SO ORDERED.
