per, several times by telephone at (415) 587-1859 to request that Plaintiff stipulate to Defendant’s 

request for additional time, but Defendant was unable to reach her or leave a message. Defendant also 

sent Plaintiff a letter informing her that she was seeking this extension of time, but perhaps Plaintiff will 

not have time to respond before Defendant’s answer is due. This request is made in good faith with no 

intention to delay unduly the proceedings. 

Respectfully submitted this 24th day of September 2019.
