to practice in this case by out-of-state counsel in accordance with LR IA 11-2. Defendants make 

this motion because defense counsel has been unable to yet obtain all relevant certificates of good 

standing from applicable state bar associations. Counsel has reached out to the remaining state 

bar association(s) and presumably there is some delay in obtaining these documents based upon 

the current COVID-19 pandemic. Defense counsel asserts that said certificates were immediately 

requested, and they will follow-up with each state bar as appropriate. This request is not made for 

the purpose of delay and shall not cause prejudice to either party. This is the first requested 

extension of this deadline. 

DATED this 18th day of May 2020.
