STIPULATION AND ORDER CONTINUING DEADLINE TO RESPOND TO AMENDED COMPLAINT

[LUCY H. KOH, District Judge.

WHEREAS on July 27, 2010, Plaintiff filed its Amended Complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of San Francisco;

WHEREAS on August 9, 2010, Defendants removed the case to this Court;

WHEREAS on August 16 and September 16, 2010, the parties submitted stipulations, which the Court thereafter approved, providing that Defendants would have until November 15, 2010 to answer, move against, or otherwise respond to the Amended Complaint;

WHEREAS on September 8, 2010, Plaintiff filed a Motion to Remand this case to state court, which currently is scheduled to be heard on December 9, 2010;

WHEREAS the parties have been discussing continuing the hearing on the Motion to Remand and agreeing on a briefing schedule, and anticipate submitting a stipulation and proposed order in connection therewith in the near future;

WHEREAS the parties believe that in the interests of judicial efficiency and the orderly administration of the case, it makes sense for the Motion to Remand to be addressed before Defendants are required to respond to the Amended Complaint;

WHEREAS the Court has not entered a scheduling order or otherwise set dates in the case;

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED BY AND AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND THEIR COUNSEL OF RECORD THAT Defendants shall have until 21 days after the Court's decision on the Motion to Remand to answer, move against, or otherwise respond to the Amended Complaint, without prejudice to their right to seek adjournment or additional time from the Court in which to do so.

PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED.
