FILE RESPONSIVE PLEADING

DEADLINE: September 4, 2024 

On July 26, 2024, Heidi Fiorentino (“Plaintiff”) filed this action in the Fresno County

initial pleading stating the claim for relief; (B) 21 days after being served with the summons for 

an initial pleading on file at the time of service; or (C) 7 days after the notice of removal is 

filed.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 81(c)(2).
