COME NOW, the Defendants, CONSUMER DEFENSE, LLC; CONSUMER LINK, INC.; AMERICAN HOME LOAN COUNSELORS; AMERICAN HOME LOANS, LLC; CONSUMER DEFENSE GROUP, LLC F/K/A MODIFICATION REVIEW BOARD, LLC; BROWN LEGAL, INC.; FMG PARTNERS, LLC; ZINLEY, LLC; JONATHAN P. HANLEY; AND SANDRA X. HANLEY, by and through their attorney of record, and the Plaintiff, FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION, by and through its attorneys of record, and hereby stipulate, agree and seek this Court's Order as follows:
1. On January 8, 2018, the FTC filed a complaint for permanent injunction and other equitable relief against individuals Jonathan Hanley, Benjamin Horton1, and Sandra Hanley, and against the entities Consumer Defense, LLC (Nevada), Consumer Link, Inc. (the "Nevada Corporate Defendants"), Preferred Law, PLLC, American Home Loan Counselors, Consumer Defense Group, LLC, Consumer Defense, LLC (Utah), Brown Legal, Inc., AM Property Management, LLC, FMG Partners, LLC, and Zinly, LLC (the "Utah Corporation Defendants") (all collectively the "Corporate Defendants") . (ECF No. 1.) 2. On June 5, 2019, D. Brian Boggess entered his Notice of Appearance as Counsel for all of the Defendants, including the Corporate Defendants. (ECF No. 233.) 3. At the time Counsel entered his appearance, various discovery-related Motions were pending before the Court, including Defendants' Emergency Motion to Extend Time Discovery. (ECF 216.) 4. That Motion, as well as other pending Motions, has now been set for Hearing before the Court ON July 8, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. (ECF 244.) 5. Counsel for Defendants has a conflict during the week of July 8, 2019, wherein he will be outside the reach of cellular phones and the internet while participating in a previously-scheduled fifty-mile backpacking trip with a group of scouts.
6. Given Counsel's conflict, and the importance of the upcoming hearing on the outstanding discovery motions, the parties agree, stipulate and request that this Court continue the Hearing to a date and time convenient to the Court either before July 8, 2019 or on or after July 15, 2019.
7. The only dates in July which Counsel for the parties can not appear are: July 8-12, July 23 and July 24, 2019. The undersigned Counsel will make themselves available any other July date.
8. This stipulation is made in good faith among and at the request of the parties, and not for purposes of delay.
