Plaintiff filed its initial Complaint and then on or about October 1, 2020 Plaintiff filed its 

First Amended Complaint, herein “FAC” (ECF #4). On or about October 7, 2020 Plaintiff filed 

its Proof of Service and return of summons indicating service of the FAC on or about October 7, 

2020 (ECF #6). With a service date of October 7, 2020, the initial response would be due October 

29, 2020. 

Thereafter, Defendant Consumes Corporation had some communication with Plaintiff’s 

counsel about the case, including an extension of time to respond, but did not immediately 

respond to or answer the FAC. Defendant then retained Burton Law Firm, including Jeb U. 

Burton, John S. Knowlton and John L. Boze as defense counsel. 

On or about November 6, 2020, Mr. Knowlton emailed Plaintiff’s counsel Mr. Flanders 

about an extension of time for Defendant to answer or respond to the FAC. After minimal 

discussions on this issue, an agreement was made between counsel to extend the time as set forth 

herein. 

WHEREFORE, the Parties through their counsel stipulate and respectfully request that 

this Court allow Defendant Cosumnes Corporation up to and including November 20, 2020 to 

answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiff’s FAC. It is also stipulated Plaintiff may have an 

additional fourteen (14) days following service of Defendant’s initial response to the FAC to 

respond to that pleading. 

The Parties hereto also respectfully request that the Status (Pretrial Scheduling) 

Conference be set with these dates.
