WHEREAS plaintiff intends to file an amended complaint in accordance with Federal 

Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(1)(B) no later than December 11, 2015; and

WHEREAS permitting plaintiff to file an amended complaint will further the just, 

speedy and efficient resolution of this action; and

WHEREAS lead defense counsel’s schedule will not permit him to file a responsive 

pleading to the plaintiff’s amended complaint before the end of January 2016.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED that the plaintiff will have until December 11, 2015 to 

file an amended complaint. Defendants will then have until January 28, 2016 to file a 

responsive pleading to the amended complaint. The pending motion shall be taken off the 

calendar based on the plaintiff’s intended filing of an amended complaint, and it will be the 

parties’ responsibility to place the motion back on the calendar if the plaintiff does not file an 

amended complaint by December 23, 2015. In light of the foregoing, the dates presently 

designated as the deadline for filing the parties’ joint scheduling report and the scheduling 

conference (Dkt. No. 37) shall be re-set as the Court deems appropriate.
