IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERT GOH, M.D.,

Plaintiff,

v.

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF 

VETERANS AFFAIRS and THE UNITED 

STATES AIR FORCE.

Defendants

CASE NO. 1:14-cv-00315-LJO-SKO

SECOND STUIPULATION FOR 

EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND 

TO COMPLAINT AND ORDER

Plaintiff served his Complaint in this matter on April 9, 2014. Pursuant to Federal Rule of 

Civil Procedure 4(i), the United States’ responsive pleading was originally due on June 9, 2014. 

Plaintiff and Defendants, by and through their respective counsel, and pursuant to Local Rule 144(a), 

stipulated and agreed that Defendant would have an extension of 21 days, up to and including June 

30, 2014, within which to respond to Plaintiff’s Complaint [Dkt. No. 1], for purposes of pursuing 

settlement options. The Court granted that request, and moved the scheduling conference to August 

26, 2014, in that same order. [Dkt. No. 8]. Although settlement efforts were unsuccessful, Plaintiff 

and Defendants have identified the potential to narrow the claims and defenses in the case, and 

Plaintiff is considering an amendment to that effect. If the Complaint is not amended, Defendants 

will file a Rule 12 motion. To permit Plaintiff time to fully consider its position and determine 

whether to file an amended complaint, the parties agree to a further 14-day extension for 

Defendants’ response to Plaintiff’s Complaint, from June 30, 2014, to July 14, 2014.
