The court finds that good cause exists to grant the SEC’s requested extension. See

2

Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b). As the SEC points out, “any recommendation not to oppose

3

[Defendants’] motion for dismissal of Relief Defendants requires Commission

4

authorization” (Ext. Mot. at 1), and the requested extension will allow counsel additional

5

time to obtain authorization from the SEC before filing its response. Accordingly, the

6

court the SEC shall file its response to Defendants’ renewed motion to dismiss Relief

7

Defendants, if any, no later than November 9, 2022. Defendants shall file their reply, if

8

any, no later than November 15, 2022.

Dated this 11th day of October, 2022.
