ORDER RE: STIPULATION FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME
Pending the Court's approval, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between the parties, through their respective counsel of record, that the time for Defendant to respond to Plaintiff's Complaint be extended from February 27, 2023, up to and including March 27, 2023. This is the Defendant's first request for an extension. Defendant requests this extension because the certified administrative transcript (CAR) is not yet available in this case. Defendant therefore cannot respond to Plaintiff's Complaint. Once the CAR arrives, Defendant will need to review it for defects before submitting it. For these reasons, Defendant asks the Court to approve this unopposed motion and extend the deadline to file a response to Plaintiff's Complaint. Plaintiff does not oppose Defendant's request for an extension of time. The Defendant requests that the Court's Scheduling Order shall be modified accordingly.
ORDER
Pursuant to the parties' stipulation (ECF No. 7), IT IS SO ORDERED that Defendant shall have an extension, up to and including March 27, 2023, to respond to Plaintiff's Complaint.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
