and Omid Shahabe (“Proposed Intervenors”) hereby move this Honorable Court for 7-day
extensions of time to reply to Receiver Goeff Winkler’s opposition (ECF No. 300) and the
Securities and Exchange Commission’s response (ECF No. 303) to the motion to intervene filed
on August 31, 2022 (ECF No. 281). This is Proposed Intervenors’ first motion to extend time to

1. The attorney who drafted the motion to intervene has tested positive for COVID-19 and is
experiencing debilitating symptoms that affect his ability to prepare the reply;
2. The responses to Proposed Intervenors’ motion raise substantively distinct arguments that
require more time to address adequately.
14
The responding parties do not oppose their motion.

DATED this 14th day of September, 2022.

Fed.R.Civ.P. 6(b)(1), like all the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, “[is] to be liberally
construed to effectuate the general purpose of seeing that cases are tried on the merits.”
Rodgers v. Watt, 722 F.2d 456, 459 (9th Cir.1983) (quoting Staren v. American Nat'l Bank &
Trust Co. of Chicago, 529 F.2d 1257, 1263 (7th Cir.1976)); see also Fed.R.Civ.P. 1 (“[The
7
Federal Rules] should be construed, administered, and employed by the Court and the parties to
8
secure the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of every action and proceeding.”).
9
Consequently, requests for extensions of time made before the applicable deadline has passed
10
11
12
13
should “normally [] be granted in the absence of bad faith on the part of the party seeking relief
or prejudice to the adverse party.” 4B Charles Alan Wright & Arthur R. Miller, Federal Practice
and Procedure § 1165 (3d ed. 2004).
Even if Proposed Intervenors filed their motion after the deadline, the circumstances
14
15
clearly demonstrate “good cause” under Rule 6(b)(1). Ahanchian v. Xenon Pictures, Inc., 624
16
F.3d 1253, 1259 (9th Cir. 2010) (“Good cause” is a non-rigorous standard that has been
17
construed broadly across procedural and statutory contexts.) Here, the principal drafter of
18
19
20
21
Proposed Intervenors’ reply has declared he is cognitively impaired due to COVID-19. See
Declaration of George W. Cochran filed concurrently herewith. In addition, the response briefs
raise substantively distinct arguments that require more time to address than currently permitted.
22
Since there is no indication of bad faith or prejudice and the extension is limited to 7 days,
