UNITED STATES AND STATE OF NEVADA'S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO AMEND PLEADINGS

PEGGY A. LEEN, Magistrate Judge.

The United States and the State of Nevada respectfully move the Court for a 30 day extension of the deadline to amend pleadings pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(1), as set forth in the April 13, 2015 Scheduling Order (Dkt. No. 70). The defendants and relators do not oppose this request.

The amendments which the United States will make relate only to the dismissal of the Medicaid claims and the correction of certain typographical errors. No new claims will be added. The undersigned attorneys with primary responsibility to litigate this matter must seek authority from the appropriate officials at the Department of Justice to make the intended amendments and anticipate that this process will be completed within 30 days. Counsel for Creekside advised that Creekside does not object to the extension of time to file an Amended Complaint based on the understanding that the extension and Amended Complaint will not affect the current scheduling order or the pending motion to dismiss. Creekside reserves the right to object to the Amended Complaint.

For the foregoing reasons, the United States and Nevada respectfully request a 30 day extension of the deadline to amend pleadings pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(1) until, and including, July 27, 2015.

[PROPOSED] ORDER

Pursuant to the United States and the State of Nevada's Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to Amend Pleadings, the request for a 30 day extension is GRANTED and it is ORDERED that the last day for the parties to amend pleadings pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(1) shall be July 27, 2015.
