STIPULATED MOTION TO EXTEND THE TIME TO RESPOND TO THE COMPLAINT

EDWARD M. CHEN, District Judge.

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2, plaintiffs American President Lines, Ltd. and APL Co. Pte., Ltd. (collectively "APL") and defendant Export International, Inc. ("EI") request an order extending the time for EI to file an appearance in this matter.

No previous time modification regarding EI's appearance deadline have been requested or granted. However, the parties have concurrently filed a Stipulated Request for Order Granting Relief from Case Management Schedule.

The requested enlargement of time relating to EI's appearance deadline is sought because APL and EI seek to explore all avenues of an early disposition of this dispute and are in the process of exchanging documents and information to that end. The parties believe it would be beneficial to allow them to seek a possible resolution of the matter, and thereby request that the Court extend EI's appearance deadline to January 18, 2013. (See Declaration of Mark K. de Langis, filed in support of this Stipulated Request.)

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between plaintiff APL and defendant EI that EI's appearance deadline be extended to January 18, 2013.

PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED
