Case No. 4:12-cv-126

Plaintiff filed the complaint in the above-entitled action on September 19, 2012. Defendant
Liberty Mutual Insurance Company (“Liberty Mutual”) was served a summons and complaint on
September 24, 2012. On October 15, 2012, Defendant Liberty Mutual filed a Motion for Extension
of Time to File Answer. (Docket No. 11). Defendant Liberty Mutual’s memorandum in support of
the motion stated the parties had agreed to extend the deadline to answer to October 21, 2012.
Defendant Liberty Mutual stated that it required additional time to answer, requested the court to
extend the deadline to answer to November 21, 2012, and asserted that allowing additional time
would not prejudice the plaintiff. (Docket No. 12). On October 16, 2012, the court issued an order
granting defendant Liberty Mutual’s motion to extend the deadline to answer to November 21, 2012.
(Docket No. 15). On October 17, 2012, plaintiff filed an Objection to Granting Liberty Mutual’s
Motion for Extension of Time to Answer, asserting that extending the deadline to answer to
November 21, 2012 would substantially prejudice plaintiff. (Docket No. 17).
