Defendant, by and through their attorneys of record, and Plaintiffs, by and through their 

attorneys of record (“the Parties”), hereby stipulate as follows: 

On July 3, 2023, Plaintiffs filed their complaint. ECF 1. On October 13, 2023, Defendant filed 

their motion to dismiss Plaintiffs’ complaint. ECF 19. On October 16, 2023, the Court entered an order

denying the motion to dismiss without prejudice for refiling after the parties had met and conferred 

regarding the motion as required by the Court’s standing order. ECF 21. The order stated: “If, after 

meeting and conferring, Defendant still wishes to file a motion to dismiss, that motion shall be filed no 

later than five (5) court days following the date of signature on this order.” Id.

In response to the Court’s order, Defendant initiated a meet and confer with Plaintiffs via email 

on October 17, 2023, and Plaintiffs represented that, having reviewed the prior motion to dismiss, they 

intend to file an amended complaint as permitted by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(1)(B). The 

Parties expect that amendment of the complaint will allow for narrowing of the issues. Accordingly, to 

promote efficiency and judicial economy, the Parties request to extend Defendant’s deadline to respond 

to the Operative Complaint until after the filing of that amended complaint, and have agreed to a 

schedule that allows sufficient time for Defendant to review and respond to the amended complaint and, 

if necessary, to meet and confer about any Rule 12(b) motion. 

The parties therefore submit for the Court’s approval the following agreed-upon Proposed 

Schedule setting deadlines for amendment of the complaint and Defendant’s response to the complaint: 

1. Plaintiffs First Amended Complaint shall be filed on or before November 1, 2023. 

2. Defendants’ Response to the Operative Complaint shall be filed on or before December 1, 

2023. 

Accordingly, the Parties respectfully request entry of the Proposed Schedule. 

October 20, 2023

 Respectfully submitted,
