WHEREAS, on July 13, 2015, plaintiff Alfred H. Siegel, in his capacity as Trustee for the 

Circuit City Stores, Inc. Liquidating Trust (“Plaintiff”), filed his Complaint for Damages [Docket 

No. 1] (the “Original Complaint”) in the above-captioned action; 

WHEREAS, on August 6, 2015, the Court entered the Stipulation and Order Regarding 

Service of Process and Deadlines to Respond to Complaint [Docket No. 11], under which 

defendants had ninety (90) days from the date of service of process to answer or otherwise respond 

to the Original Complaint; 

WHEREAS, on November 2, 2015, the Court entered the Stipulation and Order Regarding 

Deadline to Respond to Complaint [Docket No. 16], which set a single date (November 13, 2015) 

as the deadline for all defendants to answer or otherwise respond to the Original Complaint, and 

further provided that Plaintiff’s opposition to any motions to dismiss that were filed would be due 

sixty (60) days after the filing of such motions, with replies due thirty (30) days thereafter; 

WHEREAS, on November 13, 2015, defendants filed motions to dismiss the Original 

Complaint [Docket Nos. 17, 18, 19] (the “Motions to Dismiss”), with a specified hearing date of 

February 18, 2016, at 1:30 p.m.; 

WHEREAS, on January 8, 2016, the Court entered the Stipulation and Order Regarding 

Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss the Complaint [Docket No. 21], which provided that Plaintiff’s
