3.

2

Counsel for Parler represents that on or about Saturday, February 13, 2021, Parler
engaged the legal services of Mr. Angelo J. Calfo of the Calfo Eakes LLP law

3

firm. In sum, Parler believes that it and Mr. Calfo need an extension of time for

4
5

Mr. Calfo to review the pleadings and to be prepared to assist Parler and its current

6

counsel with the filing of the Amended Complaint.

7

4.

8

Moreover, counsel for Parler represents that Parler has been working to pursue its
working model to get back online; that Parler was able to get back online beginning

9

on February 15, 2021; and Parler believes that this factual development, which

10
11

occurred just one day before the current deadline to file the Amended Complaint,

12

will have a material impact on how Parler pleads the Amended Complaint.

13

5.

Counsel for Parler is familiar with the Court’s Standing Order (Dkt. 35), which

14

requires extensions of time be requested three days in advance. However, Parler’s
15

counsel believes that good cause exists to adjust the scheduling of the

16
17

aforementioned pleadings and that the administration of justice will be served

18

thereby.

19

6.

AWS does not oppose Parler’s request for additional time.

7.

On January 25, 2021, the Court entered an Order setting Initial Scheduling Dates.

8.

The parties agree that upcoming deadlines should be revised, as set forth below.
