REVOCABLE LIVING TRUST, dated March 10, 2012, for itself as assignee of FERDINAND BELGA
(Plaintiff) and Defendants SAVANT ADDICTION MEDICINE, LLC and SAVANT HWP HOLDINGS,
LLC (collectively, Defendants), by their attorneys, hereby submit this Stipulation to extend the deadline
for Defendants to file the response to the Second Amended Complaint.
On December 6, 2023, Plaintiff filed a Second Amended Complaint in this action consisting of
1,271 paragraphs and 116 exhibits (ECF Nos. 141 through 145–50). Due to the length of the Second
8
Amended Complaint, the parties agreed that all defendants would have until February 2, 2024, to file
99
responses to the Second Amended Complaint, and the stipulation was adopted by the Court in the Second
10

Amended Joint Discovery Plan and Scheduling order. ECF No. 136.

Throughout the month of January, Defendants’ lead counsel suffered from a severe case of the flu
12

and pneumonia, which resulted in a multi-day hospitalization. These illnesses substantially impacted
13
13
counsel’s ability to perform legal work.
14
14
As a courtesy to counsel as a result of the above-described illness, the parties agree that
15
15
Defendants’ response to the Second Amended Complaint should be extended to February 9, 2024. The
16
16
parties stipulate to this extension in good faith and not to harass or cause undue delay.
17

The parties’ specific stipulations are as follows:
