Pursuant to Rules 8 and 12 of the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure, Equifax must

file its responsive pleading by January 18, 2023.
4.

On January 9, 2023, counsel for Equifax conferred with Plaintiff’s counsel to

4

confirm that Plaintiff had no objection to extending Equifax’s deadline to answer or respond to

5

Plaintiff’s Complaint. Plaintiff’s counsel confirmed that Plaintiff consents to Equifax’s requested

6

extension.

7

5.

Thus, to allow Equifax additional time to investigate Plaintiff’s allegations and to

8

engage in informal settlement discussions with Plaintiff’s counsel, Equifax respectfully requests

9

an extension of time to answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiff’s Complaint through and including

10
11

March 3, 2023
6.

This motion is filed before Equifax’s response to Plaintiff’s Complaint is due.

12

Equifax’s request is not sought for the purpose of delay, nor will the additional time adversely

13

affect the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of this action. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 1.

15

WHEREFORE, Equifax respectfully requests the Court to issue an Order extending the

16

time for Equifax to answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiff’s Complaint through and including

17

March 3, 2023.

18

This motion is filed in good faith and is supported by good cause.

Respectfully submitted this January 13, 2023.
