DECLARATION OF BRENDAN RUDDY IN SUPPORT OF STIPULATION

I, Brendan Ruddy, declare as follows: 

1. I am an associate at the law firm Duane Morris LLP, attorneys of record for Plaintiff 

Maxcrest Limited. I make this declaration in support of the Stipulated Request for an Order 

Continuing the Hearing date for Petitioner’s Motion for Stay Pending Appeal (“Motion”, ECF No.

2. Petitioner’s Motion was filed on September 6, 2016, and noticed for hearing on 

October 12, 2016. (ECF No. 52). 

3. On September 7, 2016, the clerk of the court rescheduled the hearing on the Motion 

for October 18, 2016. (ECF No. 53). 

4. On September 7, 2016, I received an email from Amy T. Matchison, Esq., counsel for 

the United States, requesting to continue the hearing on the Motion to November 3, 2016, due to 

previously scheduled international travel.

that the United States will not seek to collect any information while the Motion is pending. 

6. Petitioner Maxcrest has no objection to and agrees to continuing the hearing on the

one prior extension in this action, which was to a prior motion, jointly requested by stipulation. (ECF
