STIPULATION TO EXTEND TIME FOR DEFENDANT A.A.E. TO RESPOND TO PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT; PROPOSED ORDER (Doc. 8)

JENNIFER L. THURSTON, Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiff United States of America and Defendant A.A.E., LLC, a California Limited Partnership (A.A.E.), hereby stipulate and request that the court enter an order extending the time for Defendant A.A.E. to file an answer or other responsive pleading until August 1, 2017. Good cause exists for this request:

1. Plaintiff filed its complaint on May 19, 2017.

2. A.A.E. was apparently served properly with a copy of the complaint on May 25, 2017.

3. A.A.E.'s counsel was mistakenly notified that service on A.A.E. was accomplished on June 1, 2017.

4. On June 20, 2017, counsel for the plaintiff and counsel for A.A.E. discussed the pending matter and counsel for the plaintiff informed counsel for A.A.E. that (1) the responsive pleading deadline was June 15, 2017; and (2) counsel for the plaintiff had previously agreed to an extension of the answer deadline for all defendants with counsel for the other parties.

5. Counsel for the plaintiff and A.A.E. are engaged in discussions to resolve this matter without the need for further litigation. An extension of the responsive pleading deadline until August 1, 2017 would allow this dialogue to continue.

6. The extended responsive pleading deadline of August 1, 2017 will not affect any deadlines currently set in this matter.

The parties respectfully request that the Court so order that the responsive pleading deadline is extended to August 1, 2017.

ORDER

IT IS SO ORDERED.

ORDER

Pursuant to the parties' stipulation and for good cause shown, defendant A.A.E.'s deadline to file an answer or responsive pleading is extended to August 1, 2017.
