ORDER GRANTING APPROVING JOINT STIPULATION TO EXTEND TIME TO RESPOND TO COMPLAINT

Having reviewed and considered the Joint Stipulation to Extend Time to Respond to Complaint (the "Stipulation")1 filed with this Court on May 24, 2016 [Docket No. 14], the Court hereby finds good cause exists to approve the Stipulation, and hereby orders that:

1. The Stipulation is granted approved;

2. The deadline for Defendants to file responsive pleadings to the Complaint is extended to and including June 1, 2016; and

3. Such extension of time to answer or otherwise move against the Complaint is without prejudice to the Plaintiff's or Defendants' rights to seek further continuances extensions.

(This court's style comments: "Joint" in "Joint Stipulation" is redundant since the word stipulation already implies agreement or something joint. A stipulation is "approved" rather than "granted" (probably because the idea of a request for relief always implicit in a motion is not always implied in a stipulation, which need not always be approved by a court order to be effective. See, e.g., Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(stipulation for dismissal of civil action by all parties who have appeared in a civil action is effective to dismiss the matter) A deadline to answer or move is "extended" rather than "continued" (probably because a deadline denotes the end of a fixed period of time which may be extended as opposed to a discrete event like a hearing which would be continued.)
