Plaintiff, Bally Gaming, Inc. (“Bally Gaming”), pursuant to LR II 7-1, files this
Unopposed Motion and [Proposed] Order to Extend the Deadline for Defendants to Answer or
Otherwise Respond to the Complaint. This is the first request to extend the deadline. This
request is made before, not after, Defendants’ current deadline of November 4, 2016, to respond
to the Complaint.
Bally Gaming filed its Complaint on October 10, 2016.

1

Bally Gaming served the

1

Complaint and summonses on Defendants on October 14, 2016. The deadline for Defendants to

2

answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint is currently November 4, 2016.

3

The parties believe the litigation of this matter will be best served by extending the

4

deadline for Defendants to answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint by thirty days so that

5

Defendants may have additional time to investigate the claims of the Complaint. Because an

6

attorney for Defendants has not yet made an appearance in this case, Bally Gaming files this

7

motion to extend the deadline as an unopposed motion.

8

Thus, for the reasons set forth above, Bally Gaming respectfully requests that this Court

9

grant its request to continue the deadline for Defendants to answer or otherwise respond to the

10

12

Complaint by thirty days up to and including December 4, 2016.
Dated: October 25, 2016
