Stipulation and Order to Extend Time to Respond to Plaintiff’s Operative Comp. (2:24-cv-1542 DJC AC) 

Plaintiff has filed proofs of service indicating that Defendants Macomber, Kent, and 

Hickethier were served with summonses and the operative First Amended Complaint on 

August 7, 2024. (ECF No. 15.) Plaintiff has filed proofs of service indicating that Defendants 

Montes, Parker, and Gonzalez were served with summonses and the First Amended Complaint on 

August 2, 2024. (ECF No. 15.) Based on the dates of service, Defendants Montes, Parker, and 

Gonzalez’s responses to the First Amended Complaint are currently due August 23, 2024, and 

Defendants Macomber, Kent, and Hickethier’s responses are currently due August 28, 2024. Fed. 

R. Civ. P. 12(a)(1)(A)(i). 

Plaintiff Jane Doe #1 and Defendants Macomber, Hickethier, Gonzalez, Parker, Kent, and 

Montes (“Defendants”), by and through their attorneys, stipulate as follows. 

1. Plaintiff and Defendants agree to extend the date for Defendants’ responses to 

Plaintiff’s operative complaint to September 27, 2024. Good cause for the extension exists as 

follows. 

2. Due to the nature of the allegations, the number of defendants and number of claims, 

Defendants’ counsel cannot reasonably review, investigate, and prepare appropriate responses to 

the operative complaint by the current deadlines. Defendants’ counsel requires additional time to 

review and investigate Plaintiffs’ allegations, consult with his clients, and determine and prepare 

appropriate responses to the operative complaint. The extension will also allow the parties time 

to meet and confer concerning any potential motions to dismiss pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 12(b)(1)-(7) and any potential objections concerning Plaintiff proceeding under a 

pseudonym. (See ECF No. 10 (granting Plaintiff’s motion to proceed under pseudonym subject 

to reconsideration upon any objection by Defendants).) Accordingly, the parties request the 

Court enter their stipulation and extend the time for Defendants Macomber, Hickethier, Gonzalez, 

Parker, Kent, and Montes to respond to Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint until September 27, 

2024. 

3. In addition, the parties are meeting and conferring on Plaintiff’s motion to proceed 

under a pseudonym (ECF Nos. 2, 10.) The parties request that the Court allow objections, if any, 

or a stipulation on Plaintiff’s motion to be filed by September 27, 2024.
