Pursuant to L.R. 144(a), Plaintiff and Defendants CITY OF ANDERSON, BRAD 

HAWKINS, ANDERSON FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT, and STEVEN ALLRED (the 

“Defendants”) hereby stipulate to the following, and respectfully request that the Court grant this 

request:

1. Plaintiff will file a first amended complaint by September 25, 2024; and

2. Defendants will file a response to Plaintiff’s amended complaint within 14 days 

after service of the amended pleading, as required by Federal Rule of Civil Procure 

Rule 15(a)(3). 

The reason for the request is that the parties have met and conferred regarding Defendants’

planned motion to dismiss Plaintiff’s Complaint (ECF No. 1.) (See ECF Nos. 9 and 11.) Plaintiff 

agreed to file an amended complaint, but requires additional time to prepare the amended 

complaint. This will be Plaintiff’s first amended complaint. 

Dated: September 19, 2024 ANGELO, KILDAY & KILDUFF, LLP
