CAM FERENBACH, Magistrate Judge.
Pursuant to Local Rules IA 6-1(a), 6-2 and 7-1, and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(b), Defendant PlusFour, Inc. ("Defendant") and Plaintiff Tracey I. Conley ("Plaintiff"), by and through their respective counsel of record, hereby stipulate as follows:
Defendant has requested, and Plaintiff has consented to, an extension of the time for Defendant to respond to Plaintiff's Complaint (ECF No. 1, filed on November 3, 2017) from December 18, 2017 to January 5, 2018.
Rule 6(b) requires the Court to approve an extension of time for Defendant to file an answer, and therefore the Parties collectively request the Court approve the agreement, as set forth below:
a. This is the Parties' first stipulation for an enlargement of time to respond to the Complaint;
b. The Parties stipulate and agree that the deadline for Defendant to file an answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiff's Complaint shall be extended to on or before January 5, 2018; and
c. Defendant requested this extension to give its counsel sufficient time to meaningfully assess Plaintiff's claims before responding to the Complaint. This stipulation is not made for purposes of delay.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
