JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO ENLARGE TIME FOR DEFENDANT TO RESPOND TO AMENDED COMPLAINT

(First Request)

CARL W. HOFFMAN, Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiffs Alley Cat Inc., a Wyoming corporation, Tough House Media Inc., a Nevada corporation, and Nicholas Pinkowski, an individual (collectively, the "Plaintiffs"), and defendant Stuart Duncan, an individual ("Defendant"), through their respective undersigned counsel of record, stipulate and agree that the date for Defendant to respond to Plaintiffs' amended complaint [ECF No. 27].

On September 28, 2017, the Court entered its order denying in part and granting in part Defendant's pending motion to dismiss under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(2) and (6), and denying Defendant's motion to strike under Rule 12(f). [ECF No. 25.] As instructed by that order, Plaintiffs filed their amended complaint on October 18, 2017. [ECF No. 27.] Pursuant to Rule 15(a)(3), Defendant's response to Plaintiffs' amended complaint is due on November 1, 2017.

Pursuant to Local Rule 6-1, this is the parties' first request for such an extension of Defendant's deadline to respond to Plaintiffs' amended complaint. The parties request this extension prior to the expiration of the deadline for Defendant to respond to the amended complaint in order to explore potential resolution of this matter, which only recently has been considered by the parties. The parties do not seek this extension for any improper reason, or for the purposes of delay.

[PROPOSED] ORDER

For good cause appearing, it is ORDERED that the parties' foregoing stipulation is GRANTED and Defendant's response to Plaintiffs' amended complaint shall be due on November 8, 2017.
