4. In addition, additional time is necessary due to the fact that all Defendants are

2

located in India, and that language, time zones and geographical barriers have

presented significant challenges in that defense counsel has encountered difficulty

4

explaining and communicating with the Defendants regarding the many issues and

5

complexities of the pending motions.

5. Plaintiff’s counsel has agreed to extend the response date to June 22, 2018.
