On August 23, 2018, Plaintiff and Defendant WePlus (Shanghai) Technology Co., Ltd.

(“WePlus Shanghai”) entered into a stipulation extending WePlus Shanghai’s time to answer or 

otherwise respond to the Complaint until September 4, 2018. Dkt. No. 29.

On September 4, 2018, Defendant WePlus (Shanghai) Technology Co., Ltd. filed a 

Motion to Quash. Dkt. No. 32. On January 10, 2019, after a hearing that day, the Court denied 

the Motion to Quash. Dkt. No. 44. Per Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(a)(4)(A), the responsive pleading 

must be served within 14 days after notice of the court's action, i.e., by January 24, 2019.

Defendant WePlus Shanghai wishes to extend the time for it to answer or otherwise 

respond to the Complaint to February 4, 2019, and Plaintiff has stipulated to WePlus Shanghai’s 

requested extension. For these reasons, this stipulation extending the time to answer or 

otherwise respond to the Complaint is warranted.

With respect to the deadline for WePlus Shanghai to respond to the Complaint, this is the 

first extension requested after the Court’s decision on WePlus Shanghai’s Motion to Quash. The 

requested time modification will otherwise have no effect upon the current schedule for the case

as recently ordered by the Court. Dkt. No. 44.

In so stipulating, Defendant WePlus (Shanghai) Technology Co., Ltd. expressly reserves, 

and does not waive, any and all defenses, including those enumerated in Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b), 

and the parties agree that this stipulation shall not be deemed to have waived any such defenses.

By the signature below, counsel for Defendant WePlus (Shanghai) Technology Co., Ltd. hereby 

attests that all parties listed below concur in the filing of this document.

Respectfully submitted, 

 Dated: January 24, 2019 By: /s/ Leodis C. Matthews_______________
