Re: Democratic National Committee v. Russian Federation (1:18-cv-03501-JGK)
Dear Judge Koeltl:
We represent Defendant Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. (“the
Campaign”) in the above-captioned matter. Yesterday, Plaintiff Democratic
National Committee’s (“DNC”) moved to (1) adjourn the status conference currently
scheduled for July 5, 2018, until September 5, 2018; and (2) suspend the current
deadline of July 2, 2018, for those Defendants who have already waived service—
including the Campaign—to respond to the Complaint, at least until the status
conference. DNC’s Unopposed Motion, ECF 108.
For all the reasons given in the DNC’s motion, the Campaign respectfully
requests that the Court extend the Campaign’s deadline for responding to the
Complaint until September 5 or thereafter. While the DNC requested this relief on
the Campaign’s behalf, in an abundance of caution we are making the request
ourselves. The Campaign has not requested any prior extensions of its deadline for
responding to the Complaint.
The Campaign therefore respectfully requests that the Court enter the
Proposed Order attached to the DNC’s motion.
