STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND TIME TO THE FILE AMENDED COMPLAINT

KIMBERLY J. MUELLER, District Judge.

Plaintiffs Foothill Church, Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, and Shepherd of the Hills Church, and Defendant Michelle Rouillard, in her official capacity as Director of the California Department of Managed Health Care, by and through their attorneys of record, submit this stipulated request to extend the time for Plaintiffs to file an amended complaint. Counsel for the parties have conferred on this matter and, in support of this joint request, hereby STIPULATE and AGREE as follows:

1. On September 1, 2017, the Court granted Defendant's motion to dismiss Plaintiffs' first amended complaint for failure to state a claim. The Court granted Plaintiffs leave to amend and ordered that Plaintiffs file an amended complaint, if any, within 21 days (ECF No. 68);

2. Plaintiffs' counsel has advised counsel for Defendant that they have competing litigation demands in other cases over the next several weeks and that Plaintiffs have thus determined that it is necessary to request an extension of time to file any second amended complaint in this case; and

3. Defendant's counsel has agreed to Plaintiffs' request for an additional 30 days to file any second amended complaint, thereby extending the time to file a second amended complaint to October 23, 2017.

ORDER

Upon stipulation of the parties, and good cause appearing, the Court hereby grants Plaintiffs an additional 30 days to file any amended complaint, extending the time to file to October 23, 2017.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
