RESPOND TO THE FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT 

WHEREAS, a responsive pleading to Plaintiffs’ May 12, 2020 Complaint [Dkt. 1] was 

initially due on or before June 4, 2020;

WHEREAS, pursuant to Local Rule 144(a), all Plaintiffs and Defendants in this action 

previously stipulated to a two week extension to respond to the Complaint, until June 18, 2020

potential re-opening of fitness facilities, subject to County-level determinations as to the timing 

and implementation based on local conditions, that can occur no earlier than June 12, 2020;

WHEREAS, the Parties have met and conferred and agree that additional time to evaluate 

the updated State guidance is appropriate – including whether Plaintiffs will be seeking further 

amendment of the pleadings;

WHEREAS, the Parties further agree that a three-week extension of the time to respond to 

the First Amended Complaint, up to and including Thursday, July 9, 2020, provides sufficient 

time without prejudicing any Party or providing unfair disadvantage related to the upcoming July

WHEREAS, pursuant to Local Rule 144(a), and in an abundance of caution, the Parties are 

requesting Court approval of this additional extension of time;

WHEREAS, including the prior two-week extension, this three-week extension will total 

five weeks of extensions related to the timing of a responsive pleading; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Local Rule 137(b), the proposed order may be contained in the 

stipulation itself and the Parties elect to do so here to minimize the duplication of documents or 

efforts and will provide a copy of the stipulation and proposed order in Word version for the 

Court’s convenience.

NOW THEREFORE, THE PARTIES TO THIS ACTION STIPULATE THROUGH 

THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNSEL to the following:
