WHEREAS, counsel for Defendants have had scheduling conflicts with other cases during the time period contemplated by Rule 15(a)(3), including a multi-week Arbitration, and have scheduling conflicts with other cases through the end of May, which require travel outside the country, the collective effect of both being the interference with counsel's ability to adequately assess the Second Amended Complaint and advise Defendants;
WHEREAS, all parties have agreed that Defendants shall have until June 10, 2016, to answer or otherwise respond to the Second Amended Complaint;

WHEREAS, all parties have agreed that if Defendants file a Motion to Dismiss on June 10, 2016 to respond to the Second Amended Complaint, than the standard briefing schedule required by Local Rule 7-3 should be enlarged as follows:
WHEREAS, the stipulated briefing enlargements are sought in advance of the expiration of any related filing deadline;
WHEREAS, the stipulated briefing enlargements do not affect any existing dates set forth in the Case Management Scheduling Order;
WHEREAS, the stipulated briefing enlargements maintain the minimum 35 day notice schedule contemplated by Local Rule 7-2;
WHEREAS, none of the extensions sought by the Stipulated Request prejudice the parties or the Court;
